Often the interest of a story increases in direct ratio with the unexpected features that develop. Here is an old story, so old that it has been hoary with age for lo, these many years. Yet by switching the ending it is given a fresh zest which makes its retelling funny instead of a matter of mourning as it might have been in less capable hands. The girl's note in the overalls, seemed all straight, but he didn't exactly expect the information that the girl wanted a man who could afford something beside 47-cent pants. It is an evidence that the girl was sensible and well worth winning. Moreover, it developed a new feature in story termini that should be useful to others who may at some time desire to purloin or repeat an ancient yarn. - The Moving Picture World, September 3, 1910
