Commentaires : The ninth in the series of twelve Aldwych farces, and the seventh written by Travers.
Presse : The Daily Mirror commented, "There have been Aldwych farces with a better plot and more cumulative farcical interest, but in this one Ben Travers, the perennial author, shows that he still has the ability to get a laugh in almost every line."
The Times found "the smooth impulse of Mr Tom Walls is sadly lacking", but considered the play "in general, and with intervals, a pleasant absurdity".
The Manchester Guardian thought the play not quite on a par with earlier Aldwych farces, specifically Rookery Nook or Thark, but granted it "a worthy place in the sequence". The paper praised Travers for lifting English farce "well out of the rut of French night clubs and hotel corridors".
The Observer thought the play "a quieter instalment of the Aldwych serial than usual [but] nevertheless one of the best. It has more purposeful restraint than some, and lays its preposterous mines more cunningly in the fairway."
