I'm afraid I must disagree with the reviewer who called this film "a potboiler." Although the basic outlines of the plot--country girl meets city lad, and trouble ensues with their respective families--are standard, the way the young woman reacts to her situation is anything but. It was quite unusual in 1914 for women, even onscreen, to defy social mores in the way that the heroine does here. Her reaction to a wedding scene is completely unprecedented in film (and unfollowed--compare it to a similar scene in "The Princess Bride").
Mostly the film is well-made by 1916 standards; I had a few quibbles with some of the makeup (even considering the conventions of the day). The actors all do pretty well, the photography is very competent, and the setting is interesting, though sometimes in ways that were unintended--an elevator in an office building fascinated me far beyond what the filmmakers could ever have expected.
Trivialities: there was one intertitle that I thought seemed inaccurate about the timeline of the story, and one dramatic incident appeared truncated--perhaps a piece of the film is missing. The dates within the film, on telegrams and such, are all written as 1914, intriguingly, but the trade publications of the day put the release date in 1916.
