Commentaire:   

Presse: "The trick of tailoring a comedy to the talents of Chauncey Olcott never has been more deftly turned than Mr. George M. Cohan's (…). It is a mere shell of a play, no more weight than a feather, but for Olcott it is the perfect vehicle. Last night's audience, keenly in sympathy with the star from the beginning, greeted the play enthusiastically, and it is certain to draw Olcott fans by the thousands." (New York Times 26 décembre 1918)
(…) There is no more story than is necessary to hold the acts together, yet the play is so excellently contrived that it is excellent entertainment throughout. (…) Mr. Cohan's sure touch is unmistakable at every turn. There is the brisk movement which is part and parcel of every Cohan play, even when nothing is happening; there is the happy turn of line, and there is the unfailing skill from which the maximum is extracted from every trivial incident. Technically the play is almost perfect, a whole textbook for the aspiring playwright.
