A patriotic picture in which glimpses of a parade, passing under the Memorial Arch at Prospect Park, Brooklyn, are used as a background to show something of American history in the minds of modern American people. Glimpses of home life and of school life are given. People will like the lad who plays the part of Master George Washington, as he acknowledges cutting down the cherry tree; but we question the wisdom of showing that incident. Spectators will also like the picture of the two veterans, blue and gray, who have become friends. The views of the Memorial Day parade with the old veterans passing are excellent. It is a commendable picture, not an emotional one, nor a very great one. - The Moving Picture World, September 7, 1912
