A delightful and very promising situation was quite ruined by its treatment in this particular picture. It illustrates a somewhat watery poem that had a good idea which it treated sentimentally. Its center of interest is a poor little raggedy child who got a job as fairy queen in a Cinderella production. This, as shown, seems highly improbable when there are so many more available children in the world. If her mother had been a once famous star, it might have seemed more convincing. The little tot steals the magic wand hoping to change the complexion of her mother's cheerless den through its power. This brings the manager to her attic and results in the inevitable basket of groceries. The great trouble with the picture is the child player, who never for a moment forgot the camera and was quite wooden throughout. The picture's story cannot help pleasing; but the production is almost without atmosphere. - The Moving Picture World, August 31, 1912
