This late Vitagraph three-reeler -- they would be the last of the Patents Trust companies left standing half a decade later when they were bought out by the Warner Brothers -- is yet another attempt to film an O. Henry short story at some length -- a difficult task, given that the writer specialized in short stories with snapper endings. However, by expanding the setting a bit and giving the Irish landladies a bit of business, the task is accomplished. Add in some fine players -- even though they don't have much of a chance to show us what they can do -- and some handsome photography and you have a very pleasant little movie, even if those furnished rooms seem unnaturally large.
