Unquestionably this tale will appeal to many because they will see in it a repetition of facts which have come under their own observation. While love is more often requited than otherwise, there are still very many instances where true hearts go through life bearing a burden they can never escape. Here is one illustration. Dramatically the story is told and the actors work it out sympathetically and earnestly, developing emotion as they proceed. Few can see the picture without being stirred to the heart by the story itself and the suggestions which flow from it. Maybe the suggestions, the recognition of such a possibility, really appeal more strongly than any other feature. Be that as it may, the audience showed clearly that this film struck a responsive chord in the bosoms of most of them and they sympathized with both when they discovered how fate had cheated them. - The Moving Picture World, September 3, 1910
