The Edison Company here appears as a troupe whose last appearance was to a house, the receipts of which were $4.30. Marc McDermott plays the heavy, and upholds the best understood traditions of what real actors do and how they act when no one can be induced to pay real money to see them act. The utter despair in which he kissed good-bye to his last coin as he saw it going into the pot to "stake" the comedian, Edward O'Connor, about to undertake a poker match with the unrelenting hotel man, is worth the price cf admission. The look of despair becomes one of horror as he sees the comedian, after fair sailing, cleaned out, even to watch and chain. Charles Ogle, in the guise of angel, comes to the rescue. The whole reel is in Edison's best style. - The Moving Picture World, June 29, 1912
