Opening on 28 October 1890 at Daly's Theatre, the romantic comedy by Augustin Daly starred Ada Rehan and John Drew, and ran for 101 performances. The New York Times reviewer (2 November 1890) appreciated its lack of "everyday realism," noting that "the personages are real human beings, to be sure; we sympathize with them and understand them, but they do not bore us with the petty details of their everyday lives. They love and suffer; they banter and jest; they charm and refresh us and lift our minds above the toil and discomfort of dreary everyday."
