One to be proud of

A four-part film version of a story by C. Gardner Sullivan, and produced by Thomas H. Ince. Too much praise could not be given the remarkably realistic, and human manner in which this picture has been fashioned, and one of the most notable things about it is the psychological effect of mind upon mind which happens in the play in so perfectly natural a manner, without effort on the part of the director or players, that only the discriminating mind may catch its significance as it passes. This is most noticeable in the changed attitude of the father toward his daughter after the father of the "cad" who has stolen the girl's virtue has set him an example by using kindness, justice and cool-headed reason in dealing with the matter. The production is one to be proud of. William S. Hart is featured in the picture as Yukon Ed, portraying in excellent style a splendid type of man. - The Moving Picture World, June 5, 1915
