The picture will not make good entertainment, unless, perhaps, we expect morbid total abstainers. Too much footage was devoted to the scene showing the death of the wife, and that of the baby, too; it was necessary only to indicate the fact. Furthermore, it is not in reason to believe that three men, successful in business and apparently happy, should quit drinking because a weak man, after experiencing sorrow, becomes a bum. When the thread of a story is outlined by poetry instead of the usual subtitles it is well that the poetry should be of an exceptional quality, stuff that has stood the test. Given the script, there is no complaint against the producer of the picture or against the actors. - The Moving Picture World, September 13, 1913
