SYNOPSIS, Reel Life, March 27, 1915:

"Mrs. King receives an invitation from Mrs. Carter, an old school friend, whom she has not seen for years, to visit her and help entertain a house-party, which she is giving for her son, Jack, just home from college. Mrs. King accepts, but at the last minute is unable to go. Her daughter, Hazel, for the fun of the thing, disguises herself and goes in her mother's place. There are several ludicrous situations in which Hazel is caught by Jack minus her grey wig. Of course it all ends with the young pair falling desperately in love, and the mothers rejoicing in their children's engagement."

 

REVIEW, The Moving Picture World, April 17, 1915:

"A society comedy in which the girl, portrayed by Peggy Burke, disguises as her mother and goes to a party. The deception leads to some amusing situations, all of which are pleasingly handled. Arthur Ashley is the hero. A novel comedy."
