Reception

Theatre managers offered to "supply cotton and buttons free to all patrons who damage them" during screenings of the film."[8]

The Motion Picture News said that Charles Evans "gave a really clever impersonation of Charles Chaplin" but that "the production was too long to be anything more than ordinary."[9]
