This picture is very commendable on nearly every count except photography. The situation is natural and human and is developed without too much delay. The backgrounds are pleasing, fresh, and interesting in themselves; yet they are not obtrusive and add local color to the story without burdening it. It was to be expected that any situation in which Gene Gauntier led would be well acted; this picture of a rather passionate, but cleanhearted Irish girl is extremely well acted. It is not a tragic picture and it has a pleasant ending. The girl makes a pathetic figure on board ship, especially on her way back from America and in the sunset scene which is especially commendable; but she was too human to be broken- hearted by her disillusioning. She had fallen in love with an American tourist (he had kissed her) and had followed him across the sea only to find that he didn't love her. She marries her Irish lover. It is all convincingly and clearly set forth. We understand and sympathize with it all. - The Moving Picture World, December 2, 1911
