A good and very emotional situation makes the latter two-thirds of this picture a real interpretation of human life. The early scenes, they serve merely as an introduction to the picture, were pitiably weak. They showed a cheap and conventional idea of a country store. No one ever saw anything like it actually. The story follows these scenes. It is told partly by means of dream memories. There is going to be a wedding. The bride-to-be has a very lovable spinster aunt. The dress the bride is to wear was made for this aunt and the memories take the spectator back thirty years and show, by a few tragic pictures, why the dress had never been worn. Then we have the wedding scene in the country church and the departure. The sharp contrasts bring out the picture's intention very strongly. It makes a very good offering. - The Moving Picture World, August 24, 1912
