Too far fetched to be truly funny

The idea behind this farce is good, but the picture of it seems too far fetched to be truly funny, and it made but little laughter. It is from one of Lawrence McCIoskey's scripts, produced by Barry O'Neil. Peter Lang has a matrimonial bureau and is doing a big business. Mary Walters consults him on behalf of her brother (Bartley McCuUum), but, herself, falls in love with him. To bring him around she has to open a bureau of her own, just across the hall. There are many players in the cast, and the photography is very good. - The Moving Picture World, March 29, 1913
