This is a story made by the Regent company of England. It is in three parts. There is a war background, in which are shown men in battle, portraying British and French troops in conflict with Germans. The underlying action is the marriage of a trained nurse to a well-to-do good-for-nothing. The friends of the latter ridicule the nurse and otherwise comport themselves in a manner uncomplimentary to that division of a community known as Society. That the husband finally realizes his culpability and goes to the front does something to rehabilitate him in the opinion of the observer. Many men. are used in the battle scenes ; undoubtedly they are soldiers, not actors. The Americans may be more interested in the latter part of the frequently mentioned combination of king and country, inseparable though the two may be in the English mind. So, too, exhibitors may be chary of the title making reference to the annihilation of the Germans. The story is not of notable strength. - The Moving Picture World, October 24, 1914
