Lloyd Hughes rises to new heights in the role of Joel Webster, the lad who, upon being disowned because of his love for the law, packs his worldly belongings into a wheelbarrow and trundles off to town to make good.
 The story rings as true as the old church bell; it's appeal is as sublime as the appeal of mother love itself And the characterizations are well nigh perfect in their fidelity to life, their infinite attention to detail their breathing, living qualities of actual ity.
 Comedy touches are as frequent as were the chuckles sprinkled through out such country classic as Shore Acres" tho tears are intermingled as, effectively as they are in "Way Down East" that rural vtage gem that swayed the hearts of the nation decade or two ago.
