Murray appears dealing with the affairs of Birdie Snitz and her family. Much of the action takes place on and in the waters of a lake. This makes a fairly amusing number. The photography is good. - The Moving Picture World, January 9, 1915

Charles Murray comedies have the negative advantage of not being the unusual Keystone slapstick knockabout but unfortunately they have no real positive advantages to back that up with. Murray is an actor I personally find totally unfunny. He had started with Biograph in 1912, then joined Sennett at Keystone. His finest hour came shortly after this when he had his own series (about ten films 1914-1915) as a character called Hogan but the two samples I have seen are almost equally unamusing. He had a fairly long career as a third-string comedian but remained really a rather unregenerate vaudeville actor. This extremely corny film has him disguising himself in drag to get a job as a governess and access to his overprotected sweetheart. The old father falls for him, needless to say and there is another suitor. I have no desire to write a spoiler but it is in any case impossible because after that there is nothing to spoil.....
