“A delightful bit of romantic foolery.... The sketch is a record of certain amorous adventures contingent upon an out-of-doors amateur rendering of the ‘Midsummer night’s dream.’ The principal motive is a mystery connected with the finding and trailing of a woman’s shoe. In the course of his search the hero is constrained to make love pleasantly if somewhat indiscriminately; and there is plenty of chance in ‘Titania’s glade’ for comfortable philandering. Titania is married and therefore immune from his attentions, which wander among Hermia, Helena, and several of the fairies.”—Nation.
