Written and put on in a human, delightful way

This little true comedy by Lucy Oppenheim takes us into the life of a small boy who wants a brother. There were preparations going on and when he asks the reason of them he is told that the stork is going to bring a new baby to the house. He wants the stork to bring a boy, Being by nature an inquisitive youngster, Bobby learns that a sign. "Boy Wanted," hung out at a nearby toy shop has resulted in Yale Boss's coming, a new boy, to the shop, so he buys the sign and tacks it up on the pillar in front of his home. When the new baby is brought by the stork, it is a boy and Billy claims that credit it due to him. The picture reflects credit on its authoress and on C.J. Williams, its producer. It has been written and put on in a human, delightful way. Kathleen Coughlin plays Bobby; William Wadsworth, his father; Clara Adams. his nurse, and there are several smaller roles. - The Moving Picture World, October 25, 1913
