While one is almost ready to deplore the production of more films of the roughhouse order, it must still be admitted that this subject has been well chosen and that it is a travesty upon a topic which is unquestionably engrossing a good deal of attention at present. It need not be accepted as in any sense an even fair representation of those who represent the suffrage movement, and that they lay themselves open to just such exaggerated misrepresentations by their often unsupported and insupportable argument and actions. That Mr. Duff should be under the domination of a woman of his wife's Amazonian characteristics is not to be accepted as a travesty. It is quite Likely to be true, and in this respect, at least, the picture is not overdrawn. But the scene in the meeting where the disguised Mr. Duff interrupts and is compelled to make an unceremonious exit to save himself from bodily harm, is funny, and the tumble from the pier, with the gathering about the unfortunate man's bedside, are hits which raise a laugh. If these things are to be done, they should be done by producers as capable as the Melies Company. - The Moving Picture World, November 6, 1909
