Greenwood Eugene Burr as Jack Darian Ah Wing as Chinaman Critical reception The Kansas City Journal stated, "If you like honest-to-goodness comedy, the kind which does not draw on your gray matter to decide intricate social problems after a hard day's work, line up at the box office of the Mainstreet. It's worth it. Nobody is hit in the face with a pie, nor is there a race through an endless succession of doors. Most of the time offered laugh getters have been scrapped and the comedy lines and situations first thought out by the author of the magazine story upon which the picture is built are relied upon to carry it across to the audience—and they do."
