Far above the average, this offering, though not wholly great, is effectively emotional all through, but especially in its closing scenes and has some fine things in the way of artistic pictures. Through the whole runs a beautifully tender thread of symbolism which will make a strong appeal to every sensitive and sympathetic spectator. The texture of the story is very slight; but the picture's spirit shines through nearly every scene and gives vivid unity to the whole. This is the sole dramatic value the offering has; it is a high one. In such a picture, which makes its appeal more to women and children, it was. it seems, a mistake to have anyone shot so brutally as was Hope's sweetheart. The author is W.E. Wing. Bessie Eyton plays Hope and poses at the close, first as "Hope Playing on a Harp with One String," which fades and then as "Hope Clinging to the Rock of Ages." - The Moving Picture World, November 15, 1913
