The authors list the cast members of the play, praises the Rankins’ portrayal of Alexander McGee and Nancy Williams and praises the play with the following: “the fresh, original American types, the local color, the picturesque and connected story, clean, sharp-cut, convincing, carried the piece to a remarkable popularity . . .” (80) and “[p]robably few American plays have been so often given during the last quarter-century as this, and it bids fair to run on indefinitely so long as the stock companies want an exciting and entertaining drama.” (81).
