The whole atmosphere of this picture is wholesome and pleasing

A picture carrying a young married couple from the wedding on through the rough weather that the matrimonial ship soon meets. They are young people of wealth, and have all that money can buy but happiness. No children come to them. It looks as though there is going to be a separation; but a little orphan is adopted and both husband and wife become much attached to him. The difficulty is solved in the end, forever, by the advent of a baby of their own. Miss Evelyn Francis, in the leading role, is charming. The whole atmosphere of this picture is wholesome and pleasing. The photographs are good. It is a picture that will be liked, a desirable, good filler. - The Moving Picture World, April 13, 1912
