The settings in this are new

"A very entertaining two-reel number by Ince and Spencer. This is a Dutch story, with appropriate settings and fine characterizations. The story itself is unusually good and concerns an old miser and his family. He allows his wife to die of neglect and turns his little girl over to a neighboring family to bring up. Later the girl falls in love with the neighbor's son and refuses to return home. The miser is killed by his son, in the old mill. The settings in this are new and pleasing and some fine pastoral scenes are shown. It is novel and sure to please. - The Moving Picture World, Novemb..."
