Sermons on the screen are often effective. This one presented in a church or during a lecture would support any argument a speaker might advance regarding the dangers of the downward path or the benefits of the way upward. It is the life history of two separate individuals illustrated. One goes the bad way; the other goes the good way. One spends a portion of his life in prison and ultimately dies in the agonies of delirium tremens. The other becomes an honored man. The closing scene, representing the two, with the ocean of life between, is effective. It is a strongly worked out picture, but distinctly of the homiletic order. - The Moving Picture World, July 22, 1911
