It is very likeable as an amusing offering

Very amusing farce comedy that is wholly fresh and is sure to take well everywhere. Our old friend Wood B. Wed is up against a thoroughly perplexing proposition now. He wants Widow Jenks, she is a good cook, has broad lands, a fine home and all that makes life comfortable, what is more she wants to marry. But she has, it will have to be whispered, spooks. To her they are intimate and companionable; but to Woody they are anything but desirable. He has a nightmare of a time and they scare him off. Let us add that they would scare anyone. It is very likeable as an amusing offering. Mark Swan scores another success with it and Producer C. Jay Williams deserves credit, although two scenes, before the justice's office and in the county clerk's office were not so convincing as all the rest of the scenes. Kathleen Humphrey is the widow. William Wadsworth is Wood as usual. Harry Gripp does well as Uncle Jerry, chief ghost. But every player in it does well. The photography is only fair. - The Moving Picture World, June 13, 1914
