A highly moralistic tale from Thanhouser, a first script from Philip Lonergan, who, like his brother would become a regular at the studio, this one-reel drama about a man who takes his revenge on his neighbor after his daughter drowns in a boating accident, doesn't really hold together well for the modern eye, but it does show off the strengths of this now-forgotten studio: good composition, and editing, very good acting -- Thanhouser's house stars were talented, and this stars Marion and Madeleine Snow, the 'Thanhouser Twins' -- and a liberal application of good outdoors scenery in the beautiful Westchester landscape of a hundred years ago. The story-telling is simplistic, but the other factors compensate.

The Little Girl Next Door review
JoeytheBrit2 July 2020
After his daughter dies in a boating accident, a wealthy businessman vows to ruin the father of the family next door who was supposed to be supervising her. An adequate drama from Thanhouser, marginally better than most of their output.
