Pretty Rosetta finds a horseshoe upon the roadway and carries it home. When told that this will surely bring her good luck she hangs it up in her room and regards it as almost sacred. The horseshoe "starts things" at once. A rich banker calls the next day to ask for Rosetta's hand, but when she observes that he is old and ugly she rushes to her room in tears. Espying the horseshoe she angrily throws it out of the window. As fate would have it, the horseshoe lights upon the head of a young man riding by on a bicycle. Hearing his cry of pain, Rosetta hurries to the window and insists that he come into the house where she tenderly dresses the wound. He proves to be young and handsome and it is not long before the young people fall in love with each other. The horseshoe is lucky after all.

    Another of the Cines pictures telling a simple story that is human, true and very pleasing. It shows a carefulness on the producer's part to include nothing that is not significant, and consequently it convinces us that its central character, a young girl, really lives. In the delicate romance that it tells it reminds us of a Cines picture of a few weeks back, "The Ideal of Her Dreams." Where that offering was liked this will be popular also. The photography has a pretty quality. - The Moving Picture World, March 29, 1913
