User Reviews

A picture of the better kind with human interest, substantial freshness and some good acting. The author, whom we don't know, deserves a good deal of credit. He has provided a good, freshly- imagined story and the producer seems to have felt that it was worth taking trouble with, for he has made it pretty effective. Its heroine is a scientific nurse whose charitable and sympathetic nature is contrasted with that of her rich cousin, a rather empty-hearted girl. In the end, the nurse gets her cousin's fiancé, a desirable young doctor away from her. That this ending can be foreseen a bit too early is the picture's slight, but noticeable defect. Alice Joyce plays the nurse; Tom Moore, the doctor; Leslie Scott, the rich girl; Mrs. La Varnie (a finely drawn old Italian woman), the grandmother of the sick baby; Hazel Neason, the sick baby's mother and James K. Ross, its father. All the adventure that comes to the nurse in her kindly ministration to these Italians is fresh and deeply interesting. We commend it almost entirely; it's a good picture. The photography is first class. - The Moving Picture World, February 1, 1913
