There is a widely known poem telling of two who were made for each other and who came very near meeting, but never did. It is extremely sentimental and furnishes the idea used in this picture. Florence Turner plays the lead and the picture's quality comes not from the idea, which, after all, is not very deep or true, but from the handling. It was a poor choice of subject, for its very essence is a negation of action and, at every change in the situation, the action is quickly completed and ended. What is more, we don't believe that fatalism will appeal strongly to action-loving Americans. That it is finely acted and has well-made scenes is certain, but it is not dramatic. It was written by Hettie Gray Baker and produced by Albert W. Hale. Beside Florence Turner, E.K. Lincoln, Roger Lytton, James Young and Clara Kimball Young are in the cast. - The Moving Picture World, October 12, 1912
