The girl is not quite normal
deickemeyer5 March 2018
Warning: Spoilers
Unquestionably the general situation and the characters of this picture are interesting, but one can't help seeing that the girl is not quite normal. Her morbid treasuring of the memory of the accident, in childhood days, which was due to her and the innocent cause of injury to a playmate, is not truly interesting. Then again, when "Humpty Jackson," the slum thug, overhears her confession to her sweetheart and claims to be the boy whom she had pushed over in play, why didn't she ask him some questions? The spectator was asking how the rich boy came to be the terror of the slums; she assumed that it was all right. These things break the back of the picture's story. If it weren't for them it would be a strong offering. Alice Joyce plays the girl. Tom Moore makes Humpty Jackson and very interesting scoundrel. - The Moving Picture World, January 3, 1914
