A comedy in which there is a good idea, but which isn't worked up in the most effective way; for it is not made, as a whole, convincing. Dad (Lionel Barrymore) has worked all his life and is well enough off to take a holiday; but keeps on working. His daughter in the city thinks that she and her husband can make it so pleasant for Dad that he will forget his old habit of working. It isn't shown that they make any real effort to please him and soon he is looking for a job. One wonders why he didn't go back to the farm. There is too little life in it to make it a very good offering; but there are some good things in it. - The Moving Picture World, September 6, 1913
