This picture the producer claims is a comedy-drama, and it may be so. There is little to laugh at, though it is pleasing. The actors would succeed much better if they did not try so hard to get a laugh. There is no plot to speak of; only a series of incidents that lead up to an elopement. An irate father threatens to have his son-in-law arrested for stealing an orange or two to eat with his lunch. The scenes are laid in the orange groves in California and are, of course, elegant. It will entertain. Billie West and Harry Fisher cause all the trouble for father, and do it artistically. - The Moving Picture World, February 28, 1914
