Rex puts over a strong story, and a well-told story. There are some striking scenes and some pretty settings, a suburban mansion, a hedge- fringed garden, and old ocean tumbling onto a beach. A girl who is fond of free-and-easy society decides to change her manner of life and go to the Salvation Army. There she is sent as a governess to a Jersey family. She meets a minister, they fall in love, he proposes and she declines, on the plea that she thinks her past life would bar her from becoming a minister's wife. A sermon by the clergyman the following Sunday convinces her that her attitude is wrong. The following day she tells the minister she will accept. A former friend, a man with whom she had associated in the old days, follows her up and enters the house during the interview. The minister, on learning of her former life, spurns her. The governess, turned out by her employers, goes back to the Salvation Army. - The Moving Picture World, August 24, 1912
