A Modern Cinderella Trailers

This 20th-century retelling of the classic fairy tale keeps all the familiar elements — a selfish step-sister, a put-upon beauty, a Prince Charming, and, of course, a lost slipper — but shifts the action to a contemporary boarding house. Cinderella, played by Mary Fuller, befriends an elderly resident, who buys a party outfit for her favorite when Cinderella’s elder sister preens for a dance. The new clothes transform the unassuming maiden into the toast of the ball. Finding Cinderella’s missing shoe, a dashing young man follows the clue to his grandmother, Cinderella’s friend at the boarding house, who works her magic to reunite the couple.

There is much in the settings and background of this sprightly and very amusing comedy that reminds one of a recent Edison picture, "An Island Comedy." This is also a Thousand Island picture, it is livelier than the other. Mary Fuller plays the part of a young girl who, thinking herself alone, went in wading and was surprised by a man. She denies that the shoe and stocking that he picked up are hers. She also refuses to have him presented to her. Later, she sees a chance to steal back the shoe and stocking when the man (Darwin Kerr) is absent from his tent on the shore. She is caught. She had said that they were not hers, so in taking them, she must be stealing and is therefore compelled to own up. It is pictured and acted in a way rich in pleasing comedy and is sure to please. It is a praiseworthy picture. - The Moving Picture World, November 18, 1911
