    The deathbed scene was badly overacted

    This story was written by Wallace Reid and directed by Willis Lobards. It is a melodramatic offering, with a gentleman crook for the hero and a pair of deep-dyed villains for him to thwart. The deathbed scene was badly overacted, but the pictures are good and the story possesses quite a strong interest of a frankly sensational sort. - The Moving Picture World, November 15, 1913
