The situation was made for the sake of a story and not taken from life. Such things as it deals with are not impossible, at least in part; but the normal mind sees at once their improbability and feels that the figures are not quite human; they are plot-ridden. As a story, we find it well planned and smooth in the way it is carried forward, Bannister Merwin's technique is evident, but he has not shown his originality in it. Miss Gertrude McCoy plays the heroine's part. Her personal grace is part of a very fortunate equipment for a motion picture player. She adds much to the picture's beautiful scenes. Robert Brower and Louise Sydmeth play her parents, the newly rich people. George Lcsscy has a most ungrateful part as her suitor whose cleverness overshoots itself. It is a half-villain part and, in such a story, is not effective. Augustus Phillips, as the picture's hero, is acceptable. - The Moving Picture World, October 19, 1912
