A good, pleasing comedy of backwoods mountain folk, at which the audience laughed. The people are of the same type and the backgrounds are the same in kind as the Selig producer used in a recent picture, "A Diamond in the Rough." The photographs are excellent, but the scenes don't use the grand backgrounds; they are smaller. The story shows us a quarrel between a backwoodsman and his wife. The peace-maker was a novelist who came to the district looking for fresh local color. Perhaps he overdid the peace-making and was a bit too ministerial. The effect made him seem, especially in the last scene in the mountain cabin, to be taking too much credit to himself. The fun comes mostly from the mountain characters. It is not surely a notable feature; but it is good and substantial. - The Moving Picture World, January 20, 1912
