Does not work up very strongly

A two-reel photoplay dealing with the efforts of the postal service officials to round up two get-rich-quick fellows, who are promoting a fake matrimonial agency. The photography is rather uneven and the story, while quite interesting, does not work up very strongly. The most interesting feature was the manner in which the girl photographed one of the crooks while he was asleep, this leading to his identification later. The capture of the crooks lacked the suspense it should have, and the suggested love affair at the last seemed absurd, as the young official had scarcely noticed the girl before. - The Moving Picture World, October 10, 1914
