The fire scenes were vivid and realistic

The European Eclair company has here produced a fine two-reel subject, dealing with the love of a man for his friend's wife. He plans to wreck the husband by burning his toy factory. The fire scenes were vivid and realistic. The people escaping from the factory appeared to be in real peril. The courtroom scenes were also good and in the end the tool makes a dramatic confession, completely clearing the owner of the works. A fresh subject with many points of excellence. - The Moving Picture World, April 26, 1913
