The most coherent and best acted Patheplay
deickemeyer5 March 2018
Warning: Spoilers
The best offering among the licensed regular features for several days, and there have been other good ones. It is the most coherent and best acted Patheplay made in America that we remember in a month or two. It isn't great, especially the happy ending, but well done and restrained. The heroine is a fond girl attracted by a young doctor and walking in dangerous places. Her old mother watches with apprehension in the background. Some clever camera work changes the story from actuality to a dream, yet it is carried on as though without a break. In the dream the story has its probable ending, the fate of a woman gone wrong, given in detail but decently. The acting makes it very effective. Then the dreamer wakes and the actual story is closed with a marriage. Irving Cummings plays the role of the doctor, with Eleanor Woodruff as the young woman, and Marguerite Risser as the society girl he dreams he marries. - The Moving Picture World, January 3, 1914
