Drama.

Reviews: [The Moving Picture World, 30 May 1914, page ?] A good situation worked up without, it seems, much care or pains to make it persuade us that the event actually happened or even was likely to happen. It is a fair, not a strong, offering. The acting is often weak and never rises to be truly impressive.
