  • There is a note of human earnestness in most of James Oppenheim's work that places him among a group of photoplaywrights and writers following the path of Charles Dickens. There never was a humaner or more wholesome model to follow. This is a dramatic little picture of a family reunited at Thanksgiving. The son had married an actress, and the father had refused to let him come home even to spend Thanksgiving Day. The refusal was repeated the following year, but just at the third anniversary, events turned so that the father was brought to see how fine a character the little woman had. He relents, Charles Ogle plays the father; Mrs. William Bechtel, the mother; Harry Beaumont, the son, and Edna Flugrath, the actress. Robert Brower. Bigelow Cooper and Viola Flugrath also have roles, it is a very pleasing picture, well acted and full of heart-warming sentiment. - The Moving Picture World, December 7, 1912
