Sisters Mary Pickford (as Martha) and Gertrude Robinson (as Milly) play the old daisy game - "He loves me, he loves me not, he loves me, he loves me not
" Then, Ms. Pickford goes to have her palm read by dashing gypsy Joseph Graybill, who has ulterior motives; apparently, he loves to seduce young women seeking advice on love. With romance blooming between herself and gypsy Graybill, the love stricken Pickford brings sister Robinson to have her palm read, too. You'll never guess what happens next; or, maybe you will
Pickford shines in the lead role. Director D.W. Griffith and photographer G.W. Bitzer team-up to provide some typically shimmering exterior images. Owen Moore, Alfred Paget, Mack Sennett, and Charles West are among the notable "extras". The story is quite neatly done, albeit not recommended for P.C. police; it has the stereotypical bad "Gypsy". It's not the first, or the last, time the "scoundrels" (dis-)grace a Griffith picture.
