It would be unusually commendable as a scenic alone

This is a strong two-reel production. It deals with a young man's pursuing of the will-o'-the-wisp, fortune, and of his finding it one day while he is asleep. His undercurrent of philosophy throughout is very pleasing, and the love story adroitly woven into the main thread will win much sympathy. The fortune hunter's first hunting ground is Homestead; a smoky, lurid city of steel, catches the fancy in particular. Failing here, he searches successively in the southland, in the far West, in a Mexican cabaret and in the gold country, but fails in all of these to find wealth. How be finally succeeds and is made to distinguish the good in a girl whose love he scorns to begin with make a very praiseworthy drama. It would be unusually commendable as a scenic alone. More than that, it has the strength of a worth-while idea and commands attention for its able presentation. - The Moving Picture World, October 26, 1912
