It’s the story of an impoverished teen, a kindly minister, gossipy neighbors and a $10 hat. Griffith spins an alluring confection of small town America that both satirizes and celebrates the culture. Lionel Barrymore and Mary Pickford are excellent as the innocent pair who find themselves the subject of slander.
If it were a dessert it would be:
Strawberry Cheesecake Bites. Short, sweet, classic.

I’ve seen this one. Amazing how some things in life never change.
I love how Mary looks at that hat with such longing. Who could not identify with this?
I know! She really was wonderful in this.
