The pleasure that one greets an old acquaintance

These rural melodramas, "The Old Homestead," "Our New Minister," and other favorites of a quarter of a century ago found a human response in myriads; they were truly popular. This reviewer never saw the play here revived by the Kalem Company, but watched it with the pleasure that one greets an old acquaintance from the home town. None of these melodramas were great, but they were human and justified themselves. We believe that audiences through the states will find in it a very welcome relief from many modern stage plays. It is well acted and competently handled all through. Joseph Conyers plays his old role, the village constable, with Thomas McGrath as Lem, the scapegoat. And what could be better than to have Alice Joyce, as Lem's daughter, and Tom Moore, as the new minister? Neither the minister, nor Hannible, the unscrupulous lawyer (Henry Hallam) nor the deacons are modern or very real, but they have been long liked. - The Moving Picture World, November 29, 1913
