From MOTION PICTURE MAGAZINE (1925)
There is a dash, a swing to the title of this Reginald Denny film
which spells romance and adventure. While it isn't of the high
caliber of "Oh, Doctor" and "I'll Show You the Town," there is
enough sparkle to carry it by. Perhaps you'll be reminded of Wally
Reid's auto stories with this entry. It's cut by the same author
from an identical pattern. The scapegrace son loses his sweetheart
when he cuts up a few devilish didoes. The promise of the title is
not kept entirely. There are places when it loses its speed, but,
all things considered, it keeps to the road and finishes on high.
The star and Gertrude Olmsted take care of the romance, and John
Steppling and Fred Esmelton take care of the parental argument. 92
