Conjures up with unusually convincing clearness a big city office building
deickemeyer23 April 2017
By a very clever handling of sets, this picture conjures up with unusually convincing clearness a big city office building with its corridors, elevator, offices, etc. And the story is worthy of the care used in making it clear. In it, a telephone girl overhears a message and is the means of saving her sweetheart from losing all his money. This clerk's employer is a broker and wants the girl for himself so sneakily sets a trap into which the young man is ready to step. The girl has to keep him locked in a closet to save him from speculating. In a dramatic scene, she waits, the key in one hand, the stock tape in the other, until she knows she can safely let him out. It might have been made a bit more powerful by restraint in the acting, but it gets over. - The Moving Picture World, January 11, 1913
