Even a man who is pursuing a criminal course may be restored to honesty and usefulness by some subtle power aroused by what appears sometimes to be a trivial circumstance. Not all are sufficiently strong to stand the test of the purgation which is sure to come. This excellent film tells such a story interestingly and graphically. And, fortunately, the young man, who has worked his way up from thievery to honesty and sobriety, is given another chance when his past is unfortunately discovered. It is not a particularly pleasing story, yet its plain teaching is that men can overcome early evil associations and become useful citizens. It offers numerous suggestions for reformatory work, and withal, should be a very helpful film. - The Moving Picture World, July 16, 1910
