Another Florence Lawrence-Owen Moore drama which proves that "class will show." There is perhaps nothing remarkable in the scenario as to plot, the basis being the old story of the blackmailer preying upon the fears of a happy woman. In this case it involved no wrongdoing on the part of the heroine. The note sent in to the bride, just established in her home, was: "Does your husband know that your father is a life-termer in Sing Sing for killing your mother? I do. Be wise. A Friend." The husband, off on a shooting trip with a friend, returns home with an empty bag. There is a question as to marksmanship. A target is posted on the door of an outbuilding. The blackmailer, come the second time to press his demands, had been pushed into the shed by the wife when she saw her husband approaching. One of the bullets kills him. The wife, meanwhile, had decided to tell her husband, and on his entering the house shows him the note. He takes matters rather hard. The bride goes to the shed. She finds the body. As she emerges she meets her husband and tells him what she has seen. He verifies her fears by his own eyes. He finally takes her in his arms, whether from a sense of justice and in recognition of the fact that she is guiltless of the father's sin or from a feeling that he, too, has killed is not clear. The story is strongly told. - The Moving Picture World, August 24, 1912
