The story is somewhat melodramatic
deickemeyer19 August 2017
We find a good deal to commend in this picture. It shows care on its producer's part to make sets and scenes natural, and care in the acting, too, so that, although the story is somewhat melodramatic, it interests as a possible "'slice of life." The plot (there are two interlocking stories) is skillfully woven and deals with a rich man's daughter and his secretary, who love each other, against the father's will. The secretary is sleuthing to find the stolen painting and traces it to the very house where the girl, on a charitable mission, is attending a poor sick woman. The secretary calls the police to get the painting, and they are in time to rescue the girl, who has been captured by the gang. It's a combination of things that have really happened and will surely interest. Alice Joyce plays the girl; Tom Moore, the secretary, and R. Purdon, the rich man. The photography is of good quality, - The Moving Picture World, March 29, 1913
