An Indian Summer

As the title implies, the story is of the courtship of two persons no longer young, one, the man, even less so; not too old to act, though. Little Mary helps out in the play. Likewise is there a maid who contributes. There is a fine beach scene, where the estranged old lovers are marooned by the incoming tide. The estrangement had arisen over the failure of the old chap to show the widow a letter that had come to him. As the enclosure referred to a hair restorer and as he was particularly shy of any crowning glory, he naturally felt disinclined to reveal it. The widow took adequate measures to make him jealous, as she assumed the letter was from a woman. In the closing scene, following the reconciliation, the widow herself applies the hair restorer to her now affianced husband, to the marked disgust of the maid and the glee of little Mary. But previously she had had a look at that letter. - The Moving Picture World, July 20, 1912
