"Basterebbe la scena in cui Chaplin smonta una sveglia con gli stessi gesti di un dottore che sta operando per rendere indispensabile questa comica ambientata nel banco dei pegni: il nostro battibecca col collega, si difende dal padrone e ne corteggia la figlia con un ritmo lieve che trasforma lo slapstick (ci sono pure le torte, sebbene non cotte, in faccia) in danza senza però combinarlo con i tocchi poetici degli anni a venire."
