What the papers said

3 reviews

“An entertaining comedy is told in this film. Two little girls are the ‘Dromios’ in the case, and they cause much amusement in the course of the story.”

The Morning Telegraph · 18 January 1914

“This single reel works up so entertainingly that the story could be well carried through a second reel. Mignon Anderson plays the double part of a country and city girl, double exposure being used to advantage. The country girl comes to the city; the city girl goes to a masquerade as a country girl and they are thus confused. But the story hardly seems complete as it stands.”

The Moving Picture World · 17 January 1914

Bowers’ notes

The title of this film was probably taken from the two Dromios in Shakespeare’s The Comedy of Errors.
