The reproduction of this episode in history is highly commendable

Here is a film giving in some detail the life history of Molly Pitcher, who became a water-carrier in the Revolutionary army and thus earned the sobriquet which has become historic. The love story with which the film opens scarcely adds to the interest of this famous character. That she took her husband's place at the gun at Monmouth is now questioned, but that doesn't injure the interest of the film. Neither does it prevent the erection of monuments to her memory. Her love affairs close with her marriage to her first lover after the war is over. The feature of the film is Molly. The reproduction of this episode in history is highly commendable, even though rather too much of it is devoted to the relation of love matters which have no bearing upon the principal idea of the film. In this instance the public is more interested in Molly alone. - The Moving Picture World, July 1, 1911
