William Humphrey and Leah Baird are a loving couple. They spoil Jean the Vitagraph Dog, as would anybody: they have a place for her at the dinner table and dress her in clothes when she goes to sleep in her crib. They are obviously compensating for their being childless. That explains why, when they look through their rear window, they see Adele DeGard and sigh. Miss DeGard is an orphan who works at the boarding house across the alley, and is cruelly treated. Is Jean going to stand for this?
As much as I wish to sing the praises of Jean, I've done that in other reviews of her movies. Instead I will mention that this is Miss DeGarde's first movie. Over the next eight years she would appear in 125 more, before getting married and retiring from the screen. She died in 1966 at the age of 66.
