A mine explosion story, that has one big thrill and some smaller ones. It also has humanity and is well acted; but it might easily have been made more clear cut, vivid, by attention to little things in the scenario. To begin, we didn't know Joe was a chemist till the time came for him to show that he was, and then we couldn't help suspecting that he had been changed into one to fit the needs of the plot. There also were two or three unnecessary scenes that dragged. Poor photography kept several scenes from being truly alive. The mine explosion scene, although dim like most of the others, was the better on that account. The story is wholesome and instructive. - The Moving Picture World, April 27, 1912
