This is a laughable comedy
by deickemeyer2019-01-19

"The scenario is written by Giles Warren and J.A. Murphy is the director. It is the story of a wealthy widow who is much admired by one of a pair of twins. He lives in the East and is a spendthrift. The other twin is a mine owner of steady habits and resides in the West. The spendthrift is engaged to the widow but learns that if she remarries she will lose her money. He breaks the engagement. The steady brother comes East and eventually marries the widow. This is a laughable comedy. - The Moving Picture World, September 12, 1914..."
