Reception
The film was the most successful Mitchell & Kenyon film.[2] A reviewer in The Talking Machine News described it as a "decided novelty", concluding "we do not remember seeing anything similar before".[3] It was also released in America in February 1904, where the Biograph Company advertised it as "the biggest English comedy hit of the year".[4] Alongside Bio-graph, the film was also distributed by the Edison Manufacturing Company.[5]
