While not all emigrants receive the treatment accorded the hero of this tale, undoubtedly some do, and perhaps this film will exert an influence in their behalf which will be beneficial to all alike. The scenes in the steerage are well worth seeing, and the method of sending them across the continent will be recognized as accurate by those who have seen it done many times. For those in the country, away from the big centers where these emigrants congregate, this picture will be a revelation. Perhaps they have never realized the actual cruelties to which these emigrants are subjected many times. If not, here is a faithful transcript of the story. The heart interest, supplied by the benevolent Irishwoman and her son, who act as Good Samaritans, helps hold the attention. It is a film well worthwhile. - The Moving Picture World, September 10, 1910
