Reception
The Sydney Morning Herald called it " a refreshing piece of work, in general terms competently assembled, and with one performance in particular adding a final touch of assurance. This was Letty Craydon's picture... [she] so thoroughly sketched the characteristics of a skittish, domineered, furtively-imbibing old lady that she seemed to have grown into the part."[9]
The Sunday Herald called it "a pleasant bit of viewing."[10]
