A comedy with an idea that is quite fresh and pleasing. The picture has also a bit of not very effective farce business in which a self-willed father attempts to force his son to marry, off-hand, a girl who seemed entirely willing. The young people had never met before. The father knew just as little of her; for they fooled him by dressing up the young man's sweetheart as the heiress and the ceremony was performed, the father thinking that his son was making the desired match; and the young people are much elated because they were fooling father. The shadow on the blind was a charcoal silhouette made by the sweetheart's father, an artist. It was visible from the lover's home during the marriage and helped to fool the scheming father. It is delightfully acted and produced. The scenario is by Harry Furnisa and he plays the role of the artist. Miss McCoy plays the girl. - The Moving Picture World, June 22, 1912
