In this story, two lads of about four and five have the leading parts, and are fine. The earnestness with which they enter into the story and the skill with which they play their parts make the picture one that is worth while seeing, and one that audiences probably will take keen pleasure in. The two lads can't buy the medicine that their sick mother needs. They are not permitted to beg, but notice that a mountebank gets money for his impersonations in a café. It is high-class begging, that's all, but the boys get up a little play and it is successful. Then the ending, where the gentleman follows them and discovers what prompted the action and relieves all necessity of repeating it, pleasantly closes a picture that takes a firm hold upon the emotions. The simple story grips strongly. - The Moving Picture World, May 13, 1911
