Probably every man who reaches middle age sometimes looks into the dying embers of a fire and reads what may seem to him the story of his life. The bachelor who sees in the smoke of his cigar the face of his first and only sweetheart, and then sees the scenes of his love story pass before him, wreathed in this smoke is probably typical of very many who have had a romance, but have lived long enough to see it vanish down the vista of the years. The story passes. The scenes resolve once more into the bachelor's den and he gazes regretfully into the ashes, apparently mourning because this romance passed. The memories of middle life will make this picture impressive, and all men will see in it some allusion, perhaps, to their own experience and that will make the picture all the stronger, It is recommended as a desirable addition to any program. - The Moving Picture World, January 22, 1910
