"lis jurfan everijdaif business proposition — mif moneii for your gal " M Av R>"V Mac LA REN Photoplay" says: "This story is about the Hopkins family — Abby, and her folks. They aren't very rich, but they have practical ideas, and the most practical one pops up when Hanks, the town's richest man, and the relict of three good women, pops the question to Abby. Abby goes through as far as the bridal chamber, but, at an exhibition of her ancient spouse's connubial ardor, she runs home — and then runs away. Thereupon, the author shows a lot of daring; he puts Abby in a Childs' restaurant in the big town, and has her first laugh at, then pity, then embrace a poor, shiftless, alcoholic actor. The complete rebuilding of this thespian in the minds of the audience is one of the most artful pieces of adroit photoplay construction I have ever seen. Mary MacLaren plays Abby and Thurston Hall gives one of his completest and finest screen portraits as J. Booth Hunter, the histrion." A Universal Special Attraction
