Margaret's Awakening (1912)

Unconvincingly stated and not very convincingly developed

[22 November 2016]

The heroine of this picture, Margaret, is a little girl of about eight and very winsome. It shows how she had been reluctant to go to bed and next morning wanted to tell her daddy about it. She slips down to the garage where she thinks her father is and falls asleep again in the automobile. A few hours later, she finds herself with only pajamas on, in the automobile, which is standing in front of the city court house; her father was a lawyer. It is a slight, but very promising situation; but it was unconvincingly stated and not very convincingly developed. The scenario alone seems to be at fault; the picture is well acted and well photographed. - The Moving Picture World, June 8, 1912
