This offering is a very amusing burlesque comedy. It contains many laughable scenes. Slim, in love, being repudiated by the girl's father, joins the army, or rather "a army," also the awkward squad. His antics are consistent and amusing, and he proves himself a near hero in the end. A novel feature is introduced involving his sweetheart. Many people are used in the cast, and the photography is above the average. The directing and acting deserve special mention, even to an old gray horse that kidnaps Slim's sweetheart, but returns her to him safely. - The Moving Picture World, February 21, 1914
