Reviews: [The Moving Picture World, 4 October 1913, page ?] A real melodrama in two parts made to appeal to the rudimentary part of us and good enough to entertain the tired businessman. There is plenty of action in it of very passable quality and no intellectual appeal whatever. The villain, heroine and hero are well played by people who know their business; but the villain is especially well played and the heroine is not only natural, but very pretty. The villain steals the bridegroom-to-be on his way to the church to be married and, keeping him in captivity, has his coat found near the water with a letter seeming to prove him involved with another woman. He escapes in time to confront the villain at the altar when he is about to marry the heroine and these last few scenes are full of life and very good. It is well photographed and shows good stagecraft.
