What the papers said

1 review

“An appealing comedy that concerns a newly-married couple that are hard-up on Thanksgiving day. Each determines they must have a turkey, and secretly they determine to make a sacrifice to surprise the other. How they came out in the end is laughable; just for a minute it is almost tragic. The finale is highly satisfactory. This is a clean little comedy.”

The Moving Picture World · 25 April 1914
