It is so lacking in characterization
A short comedy of circumstance, intricate enough to suit the idea of scribe that such plays should depend entirely upon complicated situations. It seems to have been devised with ingenuity, but it is so lacking in characterization that a great deal of its natural humor vanished in thin air. By process entirely logical, the accidental exchange of similar articles at a soda fountain by two young wives, their domestic felicity becomes seriously involved. The tangle grows more and more complicated, in strict accord with the French playwright's idea, until the last scene of explanation, but interest is confined entirely to the ingenuity of structure. – The Moving Picture World, January 27, 1917
