There is much fun in this farce-comedy and the audience had several good laughs; but the situation itself isn't very amusing; it is too forced. It is intended, of course, to be extravagant, and depends for its fun on the humanity that the players contrive to put in their acting. Ethel's papa objected to Tom, but told him that, if he could elope with Ethel before two weeks were up, he could have her and welcome. He then put prison bars on Ethel's window. Tom gets the help of a dentist and gives papa laughing gas enough to keep him quiet until after he and Ethel have had the knot tied by the dominie. The audience enjoyed it, but it is not likely to be long remembered. - The Moving Picture World, November 4, 1911
