    The seacoast scenes are good

    An "Enoch Arden" story, in which the missing husband returns after seven years to find his wife married to another. He gives them a bag of gold, which he says was given him by the missing husband, and departs without revealing the truth. The seacoast scenes are good and the acting capable, but the lapse of seven years was not sufficiently apparent in some of the characters. This holds the interest well. - The Moving Picture World, March 1, 1913
