A Richard Harding Davis story which in its four-reel film version is quite as interesting as it is gruesome. Dorothy Gish plays the role of the unfortunate young heiress whose unscrupulous uncle places her in the clutches of an anarchist who plans to do away with her on condition that the uncle divide her fortune with him. The production is in many ways a strong one. It is at the same time not by any means without its faults. For instance, the beard of the anarchist is too noticeably false, and toward the close of the picture where the police raid the sanitarium in which the girl is imprisoned, and which is prescribed to be for mentally weak subjects, an unlicensed amount of shooting and fatalities occur. Otherwise no fault could be found with it. It is a decidedly impressive picture, logically developed for the most part, reflecting credit alike on director and players. W.A. Turner, Wallace Reid and Elmer Clifton also appear in the cast. - The Moving Picture World, March 27, 1915
