A very well acted and interesting melodrama in three parts. The first two reels tell a straightforward story with not much complication, but with plenty of excellent action and give us the adventures of a brother, a dissipated young man, and his sister in New York. They had left the farm at different times and for different reasons and have lost track of each other. The plot becomes extremely complicated in the third reel, the "current" here runs in tortuous channels, full of eddies and whirlpools in which we fear our heroine, with whom we are in deep sympathy, will be submerged just as she is gaining well deserved happiness, but it all turns out well in the end. Lois Howard plays the heroine to win the hearts of the audience; Stewart Holmes draws a typical villain. Will Davis makes himself look as weak as water in the role of brother until his regeneration at the end; and Jack Hopkins plays the role of Lois's lover. We are used to seeing him in a villain's part and expected him to behave differently. It is clearly photographed. - The Moving Picture World, November 1, 1913
