    A laughable mixture
    On the same reel with "A Regular Rip." A comedy of complications, including an irate father, a couple of burglars, a pair of lovers and a sack, which is very deceptive. A minister gets mixed up in the mix. Quite a laughable mixture. - The Moving Picture World, November 21, 1914
