It holds the attention of the spectator by its sheer worthiness

This is a well-produced two-part picture in all respects, and it holds the attention of the spectator by its sheer worthiness. It contains much that demonstrates human frailties, which in the end, in sequence, boomerangs to punish the culprits. Elizabeth R.

Jack Harvey portrays in a natural manner the wronged husband. Norma Talmadge, Kalman Matus and Harry Kendall are in the cast. - The Moving Picture World, August 1, 1914
