In the 1910s, Marguerite Clark enjoyed popularity that rivaled screen queen Mary Pickford– both worked in the same genres– and this is one of her few surviving films.
Clark plays a spunky orphan who finds all kinds of love in the poor side of town, nicknamed the Cabbage Patch. This isn’t a masterpiece but it’s a fun way to spend an evening and it showcases both Clark’s charisma and that of leading man Gareth Hughes. Both leads make the most of their thin parts.
