A Decoration Day love story that makes no appeal to patriotism and that, showing men in blue coats with the G.A.R. badges on, has little to do with them as such. The young people, or rather the girl, is the center of interest. The opening of the picture's love story is very poor; a city man comes prowling around the porch and the girl runs away with him to be deserted. On Decoration Day she goes to a picture show and sees her father faint during a parade while it was being filmed. That is the wordless message. Colin Campbell produced it from Hettie Gray Baker's script. The photography has little art except now and then. There is one lovely picture of Bessie Eyton at her sewing machine after she has been deserted. Thomas Santschi plays a village blacksmith and Wheeler Oakman is the city youth with whom the heroine runs away. - The Moving Picture World, June 14, 1913
