The comedy will please

A story of the determination of father to marry daughter to the man of his choice and of the equal certainty of the young woman that she would do just as she pleased. She does. While father is in the telephone booth the favored young man locks him in and cuts the wires; he then releases the girl from the locked room and the two are married. Ruth Roland is the daughter and John Brennan is father. The comedy will please. - The Moving Picture World, December 20, 1913
