    The two reels are worthy of high praise

    This story by Mrs. Otis Skinner will hold throughout. Contributing to this result will be the story itself; also the direction, the acting and the photography. What stands out, however, is the work of Lillian Hayward. Her part might well have been written for her. There is splendid support. The excellence of the photography in a couple of the interiors was responsible for showing up indifferent scene painting. The reason given by the mother to her husband for the aiding of the escaped prisoner who was also the murderer of their son, was to "forgive trespasses," etc. It is possible a more human touch would have been given to the scene and a far more reasonable one, had the mother said to the father: "Would you not have done the same as this man, had your happiness been assailed by another as this man's was by our son?" This, however, is immaterial. The two reels are worthy of high praise; there is a grip at the end which many may find uncomfortable, especially where the picture is fortified by such music as the writer heard here at the Savoy Theater. - The Moving Picture World, August 2, 1913
