A pleasing bit of sentiment

G.M. Anderson, Lee Willard and Marguerite Clayton constitute the cast of this one-reel drama. Mr. Anderson again enacts a burglar whose better self is aroused by the "one touch of nature that makes the whole world kin." A pleasing bit of sentiment. - The Moving Picture World, May 8, 1915
