    This is quite speedy

    This is a lively farce, in which Tightwad finds that his wife has sold all his spare clothes for the pin money he should have given her. The photography is neither is as good as usual in Biograph pictures. Both are lively; this is quite speedy. - The Moving Picture World, March 29, 1913
