A picture that can be commended as exceptional rather than for its artistic merits. The situation is one not often used in pictures, and at first is kept in part from us, but as it develops, more and more light is thrown on it, till it stands wholly revealed. Ruth Stonehouse plays a maid in a house of which E.H. Calvert is the master and Dolores Cassinnelli the mistress, the former being much older than his wife. Ruth's mother (Helen Dunbar) comes to visit her, and she and Calvert come face to face. They recognize each other, and the spectator guesses what each knows, and at the end it is stated that Ruth is Calvert's daughter. Mr, Calvert is not at his best in this role, which he has made a morbidly self-conscious man who acts as though he had committed some terrible crime; but perhaps he had; the story doesn't go deeply into what the circumstances of Ruth's birth were. It makes a fair offering. - The Moving Picture World, May 3, 1913
