Reception

In The New York Times, Mordaunt Hall wrote "...it is far more effective than it was as Douglas MacLean's silent picture of three years ago. It is one of those fanciful flights that compels one to withhold criticism until the dénouement. In fact, it is an adventure which virtually defies derogatory comments...those who did not see the play will find this audible film quite exciting, with a fair fund of merriment."[6] while more recently, critic Leonard Maltin gave the film three out of four stars, noting, "Early talkie moves briskly through its serpentine plot; Dix was never more buoyant."[7]

The film made a profit of $100,000.[2] The play was filmed several times by RKO.[8]
