There is little in the action that has been made real

[deickemeyer · 2 December 2017]

Another installment of the "Croesus Club" or "The Man in the Street" series. It is in two parts and tells a rather unconvincing story of an unusual brother and sister who find that their father, a tobacco man, has been defrauding Uncle Sam of revenue. They leave the house. One becomes the man in the street, the other a nun; and several times during the story these two demand that the old man give the Treasury Department all of his fortune. When he dies, they turn it all over to Washington. There were people in the audience who watched it with interest, but there is little in the action that has been made real. It is hardly a true feature offering. - The Moving Picture World, October 18, 1913
