John Henry Dubbs, a jolly, successful man of fifty, and Bob Andrews, a young electrical engineer, are fellow lodgers at the house of Mrs. Scrubbins, where also dwells a winsome little school teacher, Eleanor Edwards. Both men are in love with her, but have kept their sentiments pretty well covered. Andrews is unfortunate in the work of promoting an invention for electrical uses, and he is dislodged by the landlady from his room.

    A love story in a boarding house. There were other boarders, but these four stand out as principals. The heroine is made an especially desirable girl; two of the men, the hero, who is an inventor, and the villain who is rich, are in love with her. The third man is the inventor's friend who saves first his invention and then him from the schemer. The story's best quality is the freshness of its development; but there is a good deal of very true humanity in it. The acting, especially of the boarding house keeper (Mrs. Stewart), is very good; Miss Tennant, as the girl, and the three men also do excellent work. The photography is fine. - The Moving Picture World, July 6, 1912
