Reviews: [The Moving Picture World, 13 June 1914, page ?] Lively picture farce with subdued burlesque that is full of fun and will take well. Dorothy Gish will become a new woman and “rule the world,” as woman should. There is, at once, quite a change in Dot and her sweetheart (Robert Harron), plainly doesn’t like it. He is fired. Dot has converted the cook and the cop on that beat is also fired. Dot is given the rent money to care for. She can’t fire the burglar who comes. Robert is at hand and there’s a lively minute or two until he is handing him over to the cop. Robert turns the cold shoulder on Dot and tears follow with repentance. It is in the way the picture is acted and handled in general that makes it a good offering; it is one. Pretty scenes and good photographs add much.
