Two reels of splendidly made scenes

[deickemeyer · 15 July 2018]

Two reels of splendidly made scenes, visualizing potential plot that develops naturally. An affluent and adoring husband, a devoted wife, and a baby to weld the happy union, what more can be desired to make life paradisical? But the woman's vacillating nature aided by a lack of domestic duties induce her to dabble in amateur dramatics. Forgetting her husband and child in her histrionic ambitions, she ruins her own life and that of her husband. It is a touching picture and well acted and produced. The beautiful and wonderfully clever little girl in the cast deserves special mention. - The Moving Picture World, April 18, 1914
