The picture doesn't drag

A melodrama in which a reporter finds out dramatically that the father of the girl whom he loves, who has refused him and engaged himself to another, is a thief, yet is willing to stand trial for murder rather than clear himself at the expense of this thief's reputation, even though he had committed suicide. The girl's father knew that the reporter had found him out, and expecting arrest had committed suicide, leaving a full confession. The reporter had this letter, but he wouldn't show it, for love of the girl who was engaged to another. However, he left it in his desk at the office. Another reporter, going through his desk, found it, so he was cleared. The girl's fiancé wouldn't marry the daughter of a thief, so the reporter takes her. The picture doesn't drag; it is interesting and fairly well acted. The photographs are good. - The Moving Picture World, December 2, 1911
