It is too long for the matter that it has

A farce with its hero far too shy to suit its or his heroine, but he gets interested in his family genealogy and learns that he is derived from a pirate. He develops some of "the old pep," snatches the girl from her garden and marries her willy-nilly, but much to her delight. Then the genealogist whom he had been employing comes back to say that he had made a mistake and that the youth is derived from only an archbishop. But the deed is done. Warren Kerrigan has the leading role. It will make some laughter, but it is too long for the matter that it has. The photography is fair. - The Moving Picture World, July 4, 1914
