Comedy: Western.
Reviews: [The Moving Picture World, 11 June 1910, page ?] There are some touches here which scarcely go well with a wedding, but under the circumstances do not seem entirely out of place. Perhaps the most amusing feature of this comedy, for it is a comedy after all, is the astonishment upon the faces of everyone when they discover that the persistent, though apparently ill-favored lover has won and that the wedding ceremony had been performed without their cognizance. Sympathetically acted with the spirit which characterizes all the work of the Biograph players, this is an excellent film.
