    Admirable result

    R.A. Walsh has directed this two-reel production and is deserving of great credit on the strength of the admirable result of his work. In the cast are Miriam Cooper, Elmer Clifton and Tom Wilson. The story of the picture treats of the arrest of a young man on circumstantial evidence. The opening of the picture, however, introduces him on the day of his release from prison. He has the good fortune to come up with a lad who has run away with a circus, and in taking him home he, too, is taken into the family, from which he afterwards parts, only to be brought back again by the detective who had him arrested, and who tells the story of the confession of the real burglar. - The Moving Picture World, May 1, 1915
