A very pretty little story with a good punch

Grant Price (Richard Travers) and his fashionable young wife (Ruth Stonehouse) become estranged and rumors of a divorce get into the papers. The wife's old father (Thomas Commerford) living elsewhere, reads of this and decides to visit his daughter. She is out when he arrives. The old man loves his two grandchildren and plays with them. They play post office in the garret. The children find a bundle of their parents' old love letters for the game. Grandpa reads some of them and finds them full of endearing terms. The game is prolonged for a day or two, during which time the old man contrives to have the children deliver some of these letters at psychological moments to their parents. The days of their happy courtship being brought back to them by their own youngsters has the desired effect, and the old man departs in happiness. This is a very pretty little story with a good punch in it, and fairly well played. It is well that the story is good because none of the settings, all interiors but one, would ever take even fourth prize in a stage- setting contest. - The Moving Picture World, August 16, 1913
