Holloway of Pratt Institute, Brooklyn, declared: "A tiny snack for luncheon, another snack for dinner is proving disastrous to the modern girl, who is so afraid of being overweight. . . .

In time the student opened up a little more, and said: 'I'll tell you why I couldn't enter the ministry. I want my own way too much...
...Dewolf Hopper, gives a professional air to the show and makes even the slightest wise-crack seem funny by the aid of a contorted face and voice. The rest of the cast is enthusiastic and homely enough to make the play as wholesome and hearty as a German Christians dinner. To show how much the actors have got into the spirit of the thing, one of the chorus is named Clara De Beers...
