It is somewhat lurid in its melodramatic parts

The March installment in the "What Happened to Mary" series; but it lacks the interest that marked the early numbers. It is somewhat lurid in its melodramatic parts, and at the end, when the heroine and the villain are in the final struggle, the audience got a hearty laugh. Of course the producer knew that it was going to be so received, but to laugh at a picture is not to compliment it. There is one bit of acting that surely deserves mention, William West's signing of the will. Mary Fuller has her own role, which in this picture gives her no chance; Richard Ridgley plays the villain with no subtlety whatever; Mrs. William Bechtel has a role in which she makes a distinct figure. Charles J. Brabin is the producer. - The Moving Picture World, March 15, 1913
