Two women seated directly behind the reviewer watched this picture apparently with deep interest, and from their comments seemed to approve of and enjoy it. It is a sermon-picture, but it's a very human one. After some pleasing and natural love scenes (the woman behind the reviewer called them "sweet") the lover (Mr. Walthall) gets drunk at an impromptu jollification at the club. His friends have to put him in bed. He has a bad dream. He sees in himself the drunken husband who ill-treats his wife and at length kills one of his friends. This is pictured as a dream and as such it would have been more pleasing if the sleeper's presence had been kept in the picture. It is a bad nightmare and it makes the dreamer decide to drink no more. The closing scenes are as pretty as the early scenes. It is very well acted. - The Moving Picture World, September 23, 1911
