Jim Haroll was a blacksmith. He lived alone with his old father until the matrimonial bee lodged securely in his curly head. Then Jim found a copy of "Cupid's Darts," fell madly in love with an advertised beauty, and sent for her to share his hearth and fortune. One year tired the beauty. A perfumery salesman called one day and Jim, glancing through the window, beheld her in his arms. In blind rage he rushed to his forge, seized a red-hot iron and pushing his wife's betrayer to the floor branded him upon the cheek. (MPW, 6/8/12, p.960) Mr. Kerrigan is a sturdy, curly-headed young blacksmith, newly married. Miss Pauline Bush plays his wife. Mr. Richardson is the perfume salesman who comes to town just when the young wife, a city woman, begins to be bored with the country. (MPW, 6/8/12, p.946)
"The situation isn't pleasant, of course, but it is an extremely competent, praiseworthy picture." - MPW, June 8, 1912
