There is in this drama a fine picture of comradeship between father and son. "Dad's my pal," says the young man of the city, portrayed by Frank Bushman. The part of the father is taken by the late Harry Cashman. The story is of a young man automobiling in the country. An accident is the cause of a stay during recovery at the home of a farmer. There is a daughter. The nearly inevitable happens. The man asks the girl to elope with him to the city. She consents. There is a hitch in the marriage. An engagement seems to be in the way. The girl is left in the care of a mature woman friend. There is no suggestion of the slightest impropriety. The "dad" gets worked up over the situation and uncovers the fact that the prior engagement is founded upon "convenience." He tells his son to take the girl from the country. All ends very prettily. Much care has been given the production. - The Moving Picture World, February 8, 1913
