Reception

Kine Weekly wrote: "Waiter Summers is responsible for clever directorial touches, and has succeeded in creating a really good atmosphere, but fails to bring conviction to the story. The idea of a touring company being entirely remodelled in an afternoon and turned into a success is pushing dramatic licence to its limits. Betty Balfour, too, is called upon to shoulder too much, and is not sufticiently entertaining in herself to outweigh the improbabilities. The by-play, however, is at times most amusing, and there is a love theme which is delicately handled and never over-stressed." [3]
