A little two-part gem of a picture comedy on account of its simplicity and humanity. The situation, it has been often maltreated, is given life and individuality by the convincingly human way that the characters react. D.W. Griffith is the producer and as usual in work that he turns out, even the secondary characters are noticeable; they do not distract attention from the center of the action at any time, but they keep the whole production up clear across, like a bridge or any other well-made structure. The best character in it is a nameless village youth, an embarrassed bringer of news and a puzzled spectator of unusual events; he gives mighty help to the seeming sincerity of the situation's development and is valuable. A good and desirable offering. Picturesque scenes add to its charm. - The Moving Picture World, June 13, 1914
