Presse : "George M. Cohan presented another of his musical frivolities ... to an audience that filled the house. From the rise of the curtain the show went with vim and dash that were typically Cohanesque.
[The show] . . . presents dozens of pretty girls in costumes which appear to change every few minutes, and the entire production is filled with catchy songs, dances, and marches, that both thrill and amuse.
What semblage of a plot there is refers to the troubles between a Dutch brewer and an Irish politician who live in Brooklyn and decide to go to Paris to catch a French count as a son-in-law. The entanglements that arise give room for much comical work and make many amusing situations." (The New York Times)
