Reception



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

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."[https://archive.org/stream/motionpicturenew132unse#page/1446/mode/2up/search/australia "Film News from Foreign Parts"], 'Motion Picture News' 11 March 1916, retrieved 23 November 1916
