From the celebrated but not very emotional "poem" of the same name, this picture presents to us the poor girl who has too hard a time trying to keep her little family of brothers and sister alive and steals three loaves of bread from the open wagon of a baker. She tells the police justice her sad tale and a collection is taken up for her, then the judge and the policeman go home with her and carry a big basket filled with good things to cat. Mignon Anderson is appealing as the principal character; but the picture though well staged is most unconvincing at this period of the business, and is hardly effective. - The Moving Picture World, March 21, 1914
