A Tragedy In A Rooming House
boblipton15 November 2020
Van Dyke Brooke packs up and leaves his rooming house for that of Mary Maurice; Courtenay Foote and his wife, Clara Kimball Young also move in and everyone gets along. However, there is a tragedy that will soon play out.

Mrs. Young is the center of attention in this short film, and given the situation, her performance makes sense, but I am not impressed by her fragile, clinging character. I do like Brooke's performance as the slightly stuffy gentleman, but doubtless he knew what he was doing, since he also directed this movie.

A thoroughly delightful offering
deickemeyer20 February 2017
Mr. Van Dyke Brooke, who produced this picture, an adaptation of a chapter from Dickens by W.A. Tremayne, and who also plays an important role in it, has made a thoroughly delightful offering, full of the real Dickens' atmosphere and full of old time courtliness. Mrs. Mary Maurice plays Mrs. Lirriper and her work and her kindly face are too well known to need further comment. She fills the part of this very human boarding house keeper in a very pleasing way. Clara K. Young plays Mr. Edson, whom her worthless husband (Courtney Foote) abandons at Mrs. Lirriper's. Van D. Brooke plays Major Jackman. It is surely a fine offering and its humanity and heart interest pleased a large audience. - The Moving Picture World, October 26, 1912
