Planting the Spring Garden (1912) User Reviews

The fun comes from the clever playing

[deickemeyer · 23 April 2017]

Flora Finch with the good help of Hughie Mack, makes many a laugh in this fresh and clever farce, picturing the luck of two city people with their first garden. Mrs. Citiman is a first rate organizer and planner. She lays out gardening for her stout spouse, buys him the tools, seeds and all that is needed and reads novels while he does the work. Comical trouble ensues, especially when Flora finds Hughie asleep at the hoe. The fun comes from the clever playing rather than from the humor of the action itself; yet the author of the scenario, Ida Hall, deserves credit for working up into an acceptable picture a good idea. William Humphries produced it. - The Moving Picture World, January 11, 1913
