    The plot in this is rather hurried

    A reproduction of the famous old English comedy of 1841. with E.P. Sullivan as Sir Roger de Coverley: Irving Cummings as Dazzle; Miss De Lespine as Lady Gay, and Ethel Phillips as the young heiress. Full of pretty scenes, including a fox hunt; the costuming is also good. The plot in this is rather hurried and we think this might have been offered to better advantage in two reels. However, it is very attractive as it is. - The Moving Picture World, May 31, 1913
