The escape of the convict was none too convincing

A story which seems to have been thrown together around a location in a rough country. Crane Wilbur, as the sheriff, overacts his part, especially in the first interview with his father, just released from prison. The escape of the convict was none too convincing; likewise was it remarkable that he should find on a clothesline a suit of men's clothes right to his hand. It was a coincidence that the escaped convict should meet the released man. Again, why should an attorney-general send out an order to a sheriff to look for an escaped prisoner? The ending of the story is the best. The sheriff has been afraid to recognize his father and has been trying to get him away from the neighborhood, but when the father aids him in the capture of a prisoner and also saves his life he relents. - The Moving Picture World, December 6, 1913
