Its author deserves no great amount of credit

[deickemeyer · 6 April 2017]

Because of other pictures, at least produced before this, its author, Will Aspinwall, deserves no great amount of credit. The picture is entertaining. It deals with the cowboy who answers a matrimonial advertisement and hears from an old maid, front teeth gone, who sends him her latest, but not very recent, photograph. One of the most amusing things in the picture is the contrast, with the evident similarity, between Myrtle Stedman as she was, shown by her photograph, and as she is, with her makeup. Lester Cuneo, the cowboy, behaves as other picture cowboys have behaved in this situation, but acts naturally. Also in the cast are Frank Higgins and Messrs. Frith, Merris, De Long and Williamson. - The Moving Picture World, December 14, 1912
