A three-part Balboa offering with a most unusual theme and with one scene that is truly startling. There are two distinct stories, neither of which is convincing. In the first, where the man photographs the raising soul of his dying wife, there is no heart appeal except momentary emotion, due to good acting. The second is wholly commonplace except that the finding of the photograph years afterward by the man's daughter, which keeps her from running away with a worthless scoundrel, is merely a new incident. Both the stories are trashy, yet they interest, partly due to flashes of good acting, but most to the clever camera work. As a whole, the picture has enough life to please and will be liked. It is a safe offering, not a great one. - The Moving Picture World, August 8, 1914
