It is the wives and children of course, and it is clearly set forth in this picture of an escaped convict who has been returned to prison after he had married and become a father. The picture is truly effective, but the whole drift of the story doesn't come out clearly until rather late in the film. This is not necessarily a weakness. There are two characters which, although barely outlined, are interesting studies. Both contributed to the tragedy. One is the sentimental old man who helped the convict and the other is the grasping man in fashionable clothes who betrayed him to the police for the reward. It is a good picture; but it will be admired more than liked. We call it a feature. Some of the photographs are lovely. - The Moving Picture World, April 6, 1912
