Worked out with attention to details

An exhibition of the results of pride which will, perhaps, arouse memories of more or less strength in the minds of a large number of people. A stubborn father, through unreasoning pride, brings much sorrow and many a heartache to his family. When he and his devoted wife are finally driven from their home to the poorhouse he becomes an object of contempt, a common ending of the proud. Then the disowned daughter comes to their rescue and succeeds in subduing her father's pride and thereby re-unites the family. The story is suggestive and causes those who see the film to apply the rule to their own experience, or, perhaps, the experience of someone they have known. Dramatically, the picture is worked out with attention to details, and, photographically, it is up to the Biograph standard. – The Moving Picture World, August 20, 1910
