She Followed Me Home. Can I Keep Her?

What boy has never dreamed of uttering those words? In this case, though. It's not a teenage girl, but it is Jean the Vitagraph Dog, a charming animal star of the era. Soon enough, Jean becomes the baby's only friend; tragedy threatens the household, but fortunately Jean is there to save the day!

Jean's starring presence in this trivial but charming movie makes me believe the director of this short was Laurence Trimble, one of Vitagraph's leading directors and Jean's owner and frequent director; of her eighteen listed appearances, twelve are credited to him. He later also brought Strongheart, one of the early German Shepherd stars to America and the screen.

Also of interest for the quick of eye is a very brief appearance by Wallace Reid. He shows up near the piano at about the 3:30 mark.

Perhaps it is the feature of the week

An unusually strong picture for the humanity that it shows. The idea has been used before in "The Little Major," but that story isn't, in externals, anything like this which is wholly fresh. The chief value of the picture comes from the humanity of its scenes. That scene in the parlor, when the little boy comes down in his nightie, pleased the audience very much. Miss Julia Swayne Gordon plays an emotional role as the mother of the little boy, who is played by Flo Foley very well indeed. Miss Mason, in the role of the child's nurse, gives a realistic and highly competent interpretation. Perhaps it is the feature of the week; surely it is a picture to recommend to exhibitors who cater to human beings. - The Moving Picture World, February 24 1912
