It needed a livelier scenario

Another of the Hickville stories in comedy vein in which the deacon's (Augustus Carney) two small boys make trouble for their parent and for the new minister. The scrape they get into brings about the marriage of the widower deacon to Miss Simpkins, whom he doesn't want. The picture, as far as acting and general conduct goes, is commendable; but it needed a livelier scenario. There was little laughter; but it was watched closely. Joseph Allen is the parson; Mrs. Smith and Ruth Hennessy, his wife and daughter; Eleanor Blanchard is Miss Simpkins. - The Moving Picture World, May 10, 1913
