Its weakness comes from the situation itself

The same situation has been used and developed to much the same conclusion in other offerings, but we notice in this a more earnest attempt to make it convincing. Its weakness comes from the situation itself. We doubt whether any author or producer could take sincere interest in it. except in its possibilities in the line of dramatic art and as a means of making a picture. In this case it is more interesting to watch the way the producer has developed his picture than it itself. It is skillfully worked up; there is good acting in it and well-made scenes, but the story remains weak. The leading role is played by William Bailey as a moral weakling who is dismissed by his sweetheart (Juanita Dalmores) because he is a thief. Later, she has married (Frauds X. Bushman), and the old lover comes as a burglar. - The Moving Picture World, October 4, 1913
