This is a fairly well-conducted melodrama that becomes very effective indeed in its later scenes. Not all that goes on in the picture is clear, but the main thread is quite apparent. Its feature, the fire, with a rescue, on a still alarm after the villain has cut the wires, is a fine piece of work. It probably will make the picture as popular among films as Joseph Arthur's fine melodrama of the same name was, years back, among plays. The acting of this picture is almost wholly commendable. The lover, Jack Manly, is played by Bob Leonard. Eugenie Besserer makes an admirable heroine. Frank Richard takes the part of her father, and Herbert Rawlinson is the villain. The last scene is very pretty and effective. It is well photographed. - The Moving Picture World, June 3, 1911
