A farce-comedy that gives pretty fair entertainment. Its chief players are two pretty girls, a lot of school teachers and Cousin Tom. Dorothy sends Tom to the station to meet Madge, who is to wear a white rose. The school teachers have been away on a picnic and come back to town on the train Madge missed. Each is wearing a white rose and poor Tom gets arrested. It is light and will please the majority. The photographs are crinkly; this is noticeable in the film of many makers this week. It gives the scenes a misty effect. Mr. J.E. Brulatour, of the Eastman Company, appears, we may add, in this picture himself. He has one of his fine motor cars and acts as chauffeur. He shows his great skill at the wheel. - The Moving Picture World, May 25, 1912
