A picture of modern life, showing how the cherished daughters of a sweatshop master worked with his downtrodden employees and lived in poverty until the grasping old man gave living wages. Florence Turner is in the leading role on the workers' side of the situation, and Edith Story is the leading daughter, Courtenay Foote plays the father. The offering is more of a preachment than a story pure and simple, and therefore, while it will make a strong appeal to some, its appeal will not be general. It is full of character, but doesn't ask our sympathy for anyone in particular, so we are kept from putting it, as a cloak, on our own humanity. It is not in any real sense dramatic. Its author, Dean Willets, has done an excellent piece of journalistic picture writing, and Larry Trimble has worked it up most artistically. The photography is perfect. - The Moving Picture World, March 29, 1913
