Louise Alvord, the authoress of this delightful comedy sketch, has provided two of the Edison players with fine character parts. Alice Washburn has the happy faculty of making her characters, within her limitations which give her plenty of scope, quite natural and convincing. She plays Sally Ann, a farmer's wife. Martin Fuller, whose work we haven't been noticing so long, does as well in the role of her husband. They have just sold the farm and have a bundle of money. Si is going to the city to deposit it. Sally wants to go with him, but he won't let her. She uses strategy; it is a quick inspiration at the last moment, and exchanges the package of money for a package of wood that looks like it and this Si takes along. Of course, he falls in with the plausible stranger and loses it. For some reason, this little comedy was a welcome relief from the artificial, melodramatic or complicated pictures we have been seeing for more than a week. Charles Ogle, Wm. Bechtel and Bigelow Cooper have lesser roles. A pleasing picture. - The Moving Picture World, December 7, 1912
