The story in this picture is very slight and, except at its end, not dramatic. It shows how a pretty Jewess (Alice Joyce) has half fallen in love with a Gentile (Tom Moore), although she has another friend (Stephen Purdee) of her own religion whom her father (Robert Broderick) is anxious to have her marry. The story is turned so that Alice and her father are brought in contact with Tom and his parents, not very worthy people of fashion. Alice finds that she has nothing in common with Tom after all, and elopes with Stephen. Her note makes her father think she has married Tom and he has a sorry half hour till they come home. Robert Broderick's make-up and demeanor as the old pawnbroker are commendable, and the whole cast acts fairly naturally. It is a clearly photographed picture and makes what seems to be a fair offering. - The Moving Picture World, June 28, 1913
