This Lubin picture tells the old story of unwise love and desertion because one girl had no money and another did. But it has the novelty of seeing the reunion of the former lovers through their child, who helps her mother by selling flowers and discovers in a saloon a man who is about to commit suicide. This proves to be her own father, and through her the lovers are reunited and the man marries the child's mother. Only so far as these stories have a perennial interest is there any particular interest in this one. But the acting is good and the tale, as it unfolds, does grip the heart, which is, perhaps, the final test of anything of this type. If a story can be told in such a way that it appeals to the heart of the audience it is good enough to be popular everywhere. The acting is quite up to the standard of Lubin's actors, and the technical quality of the film is satisfactory. This will undoubtedly be popular, because it tells a story which is common enough and because it appeals to the great heart of humanity. – The Moving Picture World, July 10, 1909
