An emotional, heart interest melodrama of New York City and of life as it is known along the great white way. It is not a very realistic picture of life, however, not a human document, but an artistic moving picture whose purpose is to entertain and not instruct. Mr. Phillips Smalley plays in it a great lawyer's son who fell in love with a pretty singer and married her under an assumed name. The singer, the picture's center of interest, is played by Lois Weber with a good measure of power. The young man spent too freely, stole and went the downward path to his death. The young mother of his child was accused of murdering him. She is saved in the court (the picture's great scene) by the man's father as her counsel. It is a strong, good picture with very interesting sets, well photographed and makes a good feature. - The Moving Picture World, March 9, 1912
