Wilbert Melville, the author of this picture, shows that he knows something of the peculiarities of a soldier's life, and has made a good offering. The plot is modeled after an often used pattern, but has been developed with a fine sense of values and it seems as though everything in it contributes to the author's object and consequently carries the spectator straight to the house of romance. At the end we sympathize with every one of the characters and warmly, which is about as good a thing as can be said about such a picture. There is some natural and human acting in it, although the leading woman shows inexperience. She seemed to he feeling her part too much to be able to give a clear picture of the character. With a little practice and a little more coldness, she will find what are means and may turn out to be a genius. Earl Metcalf plays Private Smith, who, sorely tempted, steals some company money in the keeping of Sergeant Ross (Edwin Carewe); but in the end, being kindly treated by Ross' sweetheart (Edna Payne), confesses. E.J. Phillips and Lucia Villa have roles. There are also some pretty scenes. A good picture. - The Moving Picture World, February 15, 1913
