Critical reception



Amongst contemporary reviews, 'The Derbyshire Advertiser' noted "a riot of extraordinary and mirth-provoking scenes, and during its projection large audiences were continually laughing in the hearty manner that tells of real appreciation and enjoyment. Ernest Thesiger, as Bertram Tully, was the outstanding character of the film, and his facial expressions were truly wonderful achievements; while 'Cinema Chat' wrote, "Its a perfect scream from start to finish, and the acting in several of the ludicrous scenes is clever - thats the very word for it. We believe that this is Ernest Thesigers first appearance in the movies.
