...recently incarnated himself as a cowpuncher, a preacher, a crook, and a wardboss, leaves behind him the roles of these necessary sorts of person, and becomes one Reginald Carter, a wholly unnecessary and thoroughly nice young man. Miss Lucille Adams, as Marcia, fills the part of a slight young creature with the required grace; Anna Laying as her sentimental mother borders upon burlesque; Jackson, played by Mark Kent, is himself, no less; Edward Darney, Houston Richards, and Miss Viola Roach perform their parts well; while Ralph Remley again shows himself a master of make-up as the Japanese servant...

...victory is slight, in the stage version, for the rival is made most unattractive as a man, and after the ghost of the dead husband is laid, the play degenerates into farce. Miss Nudsen is somewhat too colorless for so emotional a part; she gives it with little strength. Mr. Gilbert makes a valiant effort with the doctor's part, and puts into the play much that it lacked in the writing of it.
