The whole spirit of the picture is brutal
deickemeyer2 November 2018
This two-reel picture by W.E. Wing is not without the elements of popularity. It deals with a young reporter and how he gets evidence that a certain member of the City Council has sold himself to the railway trust. Yet, to tell the truth, the whole spirit of the picture is brutal, and only brutal people could wholly enjoy it. The councilman's stenographer betrays him to the reporter, who thereupon burglarizes the home of the railway president and eavesdrops till he hears what is going on. He then forcibly robs the president of the evidence of the bribe and there is a chase which is not quite convincing. The staging and the photography are fair. - The Moving Picture World, July 18, 1914
