The story in the first half does not bite

There is in this two-reel picture good material for a single-part play. The action seems slow; the story in the first half does not bite. Kathlyn Williams has the lead. There are fine views of the waves breaking over rocks. While it seems improbable yet it is not impossible that a lighthouse keeper's dwelling should be separated from his light by a stretch of water. There are effective close views of a revolving light in action; but the distance views are of a stationary lamp. Al. Filson carries well the role of the father of the child picked up on the shore and adopted by the lightkeeper. - The Moving Picture World, August 30, 1913
