A picture featuring Asta Neilson and, of course, made abroad. It is in two parts and most of its scenes are too long. Its intention is to be spicy and to a large extent it is. In part, it is very clever and most of it is fresh; but it depends largely for its fun on cutting as close to what is vulgar as is possible without breaking through and would, on account of its courtship scenes, be more natural in the atmosphere of German life that in ours, but then a good many of us are Germans. Lady Madcap dresses as a man and goes with a lieutenant on a visit to his uncle, a bachelor. Her object is to break up a proposed marriage the uncle wants to make for his nephew. The uncle innocently wants the nephew and his young "man friend" to sleep together and changes on the same situation are rung several times throughout the picture. It made a good deal of laughter and plainly was acceptable. - The Moving Picture World, January 10, 1914
