Much subtle and altogether different humor is depicted by the young reprobate, who is mistaken for the new minister, and has wit enough to seize the advantage offered for a lark, and make the most of it. The succession of scrapes which follow, are sufficiently apparent to keep the audience in good humor. And even when the real minister arrives, the young reprobate's fortune does not forsake him. He has been, and is, such a jolly companion that he is forgiven. The photography in the Nestor films deserves more than passing notice. The operator is an artist in producing what may be termed, bold effects. He suppresses detail in many instances, but he has a knack of emphasizing his characters which stamp the films with an individuality not attained by any other operator. Some of the action taking place on the tops of mountains, or the edges of precipices, allows opportunity to produce striking effects. And this is done. Strong figures, standing out boldly from the landscape around them, constitute a series of unusual pictorial effects. - The Moving Picture World, February 4, 1911
