A rather far-fetched offering

by deickemeyer • 2018-01-13

"A farce of a boarding house keeper and her daughter, who think a newcomer is the missing heir to a fortune, as advertised in a paper, but after the mother has tricked him into marrying her, instead of the daughter whom he wanted, it turns out that he is not heir. It is a rather far-fetched offering and not spontaneous or very funny. - The Moving Picture World, November 29, 1913..."
