Reception

[edit]

For La Nación, it was a "comedy with a simple theme, exhibiting most pleasingly the virtue of good taste in regard to its dramatic and scenic features" while Calki in El Mundo writes: "everything is smoothly presented, resolving the conflict... by means of an abundance of dialogue. This is no doubt intended to show poetically that by keeping to the road, sentimental kitsch can be avoided.[3]
