This may not be the first Lubin picture in which Ernestine Morley has played; we haven't noticed her before. She leads in it, as a mother who is passing through her first serious quarrel with her husband. As usual, their child is the means of reuniting the two young people; but there seems to be much more freshness and humanity than usual. It's strange how these two qualities go together. They make this story commendably worth while; but they are due more to Ernestine Morley's forceful and unconstrained picturing of the situation and to G.O. Nicholls' careful direction than to the scenario. The leading woman shows breadth; she is as convincing and also as distinct when she is in the reaction from passion as in the tense moment, and as much so in her showing of commingled tenderness and fear as of angry rebellion. Director Geo. O. Nicholls' pictures are standing out very well for significance and for truth. With this material he ought to go far. His offering has much beauty and will be liked. We might point out one unfortunate thing: if the father needed his overcoat, or could stand it. Even in his emotion, why did he let his little girl go to sleep in his arms with bare feet and only her night dress on? Edwin Cartridge plays the father; Mary Smith is the grandmother and Fuller Bans is the tertium quid. It is a good cast. - The Moving Picture World, February 15, 1913
