This is neither a story nor a drama, so much as a dramatic sermon. It contrasts two lives and except for the characterization of the different players there is nothing in it that hasn't been used often. Of two college friends, one becomes poor and has to begin at the foot of the ladder in a foundry. The other lives for money, becomes rich and unhappy and then failing, goes to the dogs. The poor man, now prosperous, helps him. The photography of the foundry scenes is so poor that very little idea is given of what goes on in a foundry; these pictures are not so good as the untouched photographs of such places that an advertising man sees. The other scenes are very well photographed. Most of the actors played squarely into the camera. Yet the picture is undeniably interesting. - The Moving Picture World, July 22, 1911
