An over-drawn melodrama
deickemeyer25 May 2018
A three-reel offering that is a pretty safe guess as an entertainer, although in no sense a work of art. It is an over-drawn melodrama for which its author has chosen city politics for a background. Its hero is a reformer (Lamar Johnstone) who is so engrossed with his mission that he neglects his wife (Francelia Billington). On the other side of the picture is the boss, who has the reformer's secretary in his employ and who hires an adventuress to excite the wife's jealousy. It will be exciting to the gallery and to many people downstairs. It is not artistic and lacks finesse, both in construction and in presentation. There are some excellent scenes, especially in the office of the boss, and it is clearly photographed. - The Moving Picture World, March 7, 1914
