The best offering of today's regular releases, but it is not a great picture. Gertrude Lane is the authoress and Wilfred North the producer. The primary statement does not build up to the situation very smoothly. The first scene should have shown that the woman had a sick child and then we should have been told that a storm was brewing, so that we might have understood the woman's being so startled. The lightning scene when the telephone was cut was fine; we didn't know that it had disconnected the house. That subtitle about the little one's photograph was a bit sickly. The man ought to have asked for one that he had noticed. Rosemary Theby, as the woman, is just what was right and Harry Northrup, as the burglar, is also good. - The Moving Picture World, April 26, 1913
