There is freshness in this picture, though its story is not strictly new. Perhaps it would have been more popular if a sentimental ending had been used. The plot was first invented for sake of its sentiment. Anna Nilsson plays in it a double role as both of twin sisters. One of these is the "Counterfeiter's Confederate." She had been adopted from a foundling asylum by a professional beggar, while her sister had been adopted by a family of wealth, and she later tries to locate the poor sister. This opens a melodramatic story in which, on the street, she is mistaken for the counterfeiting sister by one of the "gang," and then comes an exciting close with the death of the crook sister by a shot fired by one of the gang. It is well acted, and although the story is not strong, the offering will go very fairly. - The Moving Picture World, October 4, 1913
