Hearts of Women

In many ways a very well written picture and with several most effective situations as the story approaches its climax. It is, however, weakly introduced. The burglar incident harmed the picture's opening and also its end. where it is the cause of an unconvincing speech. It would have been tremendous in one reel, for its author, Shannon Fife, shows not only authoritative imagination, but experience in fresh plot building for the screen. William Humphrey and Tefft Johnson produced it together, and it has been strongly played by Julia S. Gordon as the housekeeper, who secretly loves the master, naturally played by William Humphrey. This man has married his ward, played by Naomi Childers, charming in appeal and fairly strong, who secretly loves her husband's cashier, Hoyt Westcott, a weakling, convincingly acted by Gladden James. There is good emotional stuff in it and it will be liked. - The Moving Picture World, February 7, 1914
