This picture had no manufacturer's mark, but whoever it is that produced it he made a mistake in some particulars. While the last part is good, the advisability of showing a cemetery may well lie questioned. One doesn't like to pay his money for the purpose of attending a funeral, and that is about what the first part of the film amounts to. The last part, where the couple who have buried a child, adopt an orphan in Messina, is good and the gloom which covers the first part like a thick cloud is somewhat dispelled, hut it is impossible to overcome the depressing influence of that death bed and the cemetery. It is clearly not what motion pictures are for and it deserves to be relegated to those places where undesirable films are located after being tried on a long suffering public. - The Moving Picture World, August 21, 1909
