A burlesque on the old-fashioned melodrama where the man with the mortgage threatens to move out a poor family on a cold, wintry day. The fake snowstorm was certainly elaborately suggested. The heroic lover is bound to the tree containing the rent money; he pulls the tree up and carries it to the family on his back, when the money is, of course, discovered. This is quite an amusing offering in places. - The Moving Picture World, October 17, 1914
