Reception

Frank Nugent of The New York Times said, "Not every play can hibernate for eleven long years and then return to the living world without its plot creaking in several joints and long gray whiskers on its dialogue. The late Barry Conners's comedy, Applesauce, which Broadway enjoyed back in 1925, is one of the happy exceptions. Its film edition, bearing the glossy title Brides Are Like That, has reached the Strand with unimpaired vigor, warmth and humor. Although it is one of the Warners' lesser efforts, a Class B picture designed for the double-bill houses, it still is a pleasant little domestic farce and it has been played with proper exuberance by its cast."^[2]
