It is not especially artistic

The well-used situation, in which burglars force a mother to tell where her absent husband has hidden the pay-roll pouch, will be found again in this melodrama. There is always a large part of the audience that enjoys these melodramas, and it liked this, although it is not especially artistic. Clara Williams plays the woman with her usual intelligent understanding of what is wanted in such cases. The photographs are clear. A good offering for the right audience. - The Moving Picture World, May 24, 1913
