This is the weakest two reel Vitagraph we remember. It is a love story set in American village life, but modeled after stories of English village life, so has a different atmosphere from its sub-titles. Its worst fault is lack of romance and this is chiefly due to an unhappy choice of a leading woman. Mary Charleson is a "character" actress and, in this picture, she killed all romance by touches of "character" work. Then there are incidents lacking common sense. We can see why the Vitagraph people used it; there are some good characters in it, but it was carelessly edited and unimaginatively produced. The author is George Cameron. One scene, the inn dining room, is excellent, with Charles Eldridge as the landlord. - The Moving Picture World, August 16, 1913
