At Scrogginses' Corner

This is distinctly Bunny's picture and he plays in it a delightful part, the very human storekeeper. The story is an emotional, homely melodrama, and the storekeeper's role is in kind much like that of Denman Thompson, as Josh Wittcome in "The Old Homestead." John Bunny plays it very effectively, giving much humor to it; but putting over its emotional, pathetic moments with power. There was one time when some one in the audience sobbed. The story is old fashioned. The storekeeper's foster daughter, whom he had brought up and loved deeply, was enticed away to the city by the drummer. She thought she could go on the stage and make money to help her old foster father, who had endorsed a protested note. The old man's bitter sorrow is very truthfully shown. He keeps a light in his window for her and, in time, she comes back unharmed. Mr. Bunny is fairly well supported. Miss Edith Halleran plays Alice, the girl; Mr. Delaney plays the drummer. It is a feature; but it is not critic proof, especially in small things. One scene, a hotel in the city, is poor. The camera work is good. - The Moving Picture World, April 27, 1912
