The story is weak
deickemeyer3 June 2018
A two-part feature giving a sentimental melodrama with a love story between the son of socially prominent people and the cashier of a cheap eating house of not very savory reputation. Bessie Eyton carries her role (the heroine) with grace and humanity, if not power; but Wheeler Oakman, in the opposite role, is decidedly unconvincing; the truth is he made some laugh by his playing the last act, which shows him on his sick bed. We dare not call it a strong release; the story is weak, although the picture has many very pretty scenes that are beautifully photographed. Lanier Bartlett is the author and the script was produced by Colin Campbell. - The Moving Picture World, March 14, 1914
