Reception
Mordaunt Hall of The New York Times said, "Ray Enright, the director, has done exceedingly well by this production. It is neatly measured and nicely balanced. The players live up to their reputations, particularly Mr. Kibbee, Mr. Digges, Mr. Hohl, Mr. Jenkins and Mr. Hamilton. Miss Terry does well enough as Paula and Mr. Byron makes the most of the rôle of the train conductor."[2]
