    Harry Chandlee's one reel play is as dramatic as its name implies. It never strays from the beaten path of convention, but its progress is always interesting, with virtue triumphant at the end. Edgar Jones, Louise Huff and Joseph Kaufman enact the triangle. - The Moving Picture World, April 24, 1915
