...extracted "a limited number of situations" which he has put together "to make five subjects, each complete in itself and offering possibilities for production on the English and American stage." He has cut the "long, rather tedious dialogues" of the original and has "written rapid dramatic scenes giving an actor full opportunity to work himself into the spirit of the part".

Gertrude O'Connor, who takes the part of Ruby Airedale, effectively fulfills her description as "a well-kept grave"; Skeet Gallagher is easily the best actor in the play and handles a majority of the laugh-provoking lines.

The settings are well done, the costumes are excellent and the chorus (paintless and powder-less according to advertisements) is well trained...
