It takes one back to childhood's happy hours

This is a delightful comedy; it takes one back to childhood's happy hours, when barefooted, in the early hours of the morn all the kids in town would start out to meet the circus which had been billed for days. Looking at this picture, any one who has had the experience, could feel the cool dust of the country road squash up between his toes. Elaine Sterne is the author of this beautiful picture, and Teftt Johnson has ably directed it. Sonny Jim (little Bobby Connelly) has done the rest. No one is too old heartily to enjoy this offering. - The Moving Picture World, July 18, 1914
