Touches of freshly imagined humanity
deickemeyer13 May 2018
The "intimacy'' of a new Pasquali three-reel offering is notewortliy, and it will be the more noticeable because the theme is old. The plot, in its broad outlines, has been used often, and, except for its careful elimination of all save one or two improbable things, and for its fresh "touches" of humanity, which do not change the direction of the story, there is nothing new in it. Yet these touches of freshly imagined humanity are important when the picture is considered as entertainment for the public. It is these things that make it a commendable offering, for they give, as shown in new characters, an interest that is lively and personal. Perhaps the staging and direction, which are both of high order, give the picture this special interest, yet it is a well rounded production, and the script also shows hard work and fresh thought. The acting of the player who takes the employer's part is the best thing in the offering, but he is ably supported and everybody in the cast is natural and effective. It is not strong enough to be counted a great impression, but can safely be relied upon to interest; a fair feature offering. - The Moving Picture World, February 28, 1914
