A comedy so full of lively action that it is almost impossible to follow and understand it. The difficulties include a couple who undertake to elope to escape from a father who objects to a wedding, a tramp, who steals pie and cider and is chased by the infuriated father, and a combination of clothes from a smallpox hospital, and other complications that add to the general mixup, ending at last in a wedding, followed by the forgiveness of the girl's father and the incarceration of the tramp. There is no dramatic feature in the development of this plot. On the contrary, the film is marked wholly by action. not by acting. The photography is fairly clear through most of the film's length and the printer did his work as well as possible. A good deal of merriment is exacted as the film runs, ending with applause when the young couple are finally married. - The Moving Picture World, November 20, 1909
