A two-part Irish love story with very little that is fresh or new in it. Maud Fealey plays the heroine and puts life and charm into the young woman. She is gracefully supported by all in the cast. But the staging is artificial; we see gardens in a riot of blossom and a few feet away see the wintry trees of a wood and cold waters of a lake. There is a story that interests; but it is too dependent on melodramatic license to really capture the spectator who is not simple-minded. It turns out, in the end, to be merely a dream. A fair number. - The Moving Picture World, March 21, 1914
