This isn't one of the better silent shorts directed by D. W. Griffith for Biograph Studios. While it isn't overacted or sloppy, the script seems to be awfully simplistic and also seems to be missing something--and it seems to be conflict.
Mary is in love with a local man, but the man breaks off their relationship to go looking for money and adventure up North. So, naturally, she sees other guys and falls for Barrymore. When the old sweetheart later returns, he finds that she is in love with a new guy and this new guy is also his friend,...so he does the right thing and bows out of the picture. THAT'S IT! Not a lot to this 13 minute flick.
