A well named picture, full of poetry and sunlight, with interesting and suggestive contrasts between slum scenes and farm scenes. We meet both hero and heroine in childhood when the lad runs away from the farm; because his mind is full of stories of boy fortune makers in the city's big business. He is befriended by the girl, a slum child who is later caught stealing coal and sent away to the country by a judge. The outcome shows us how these two people are brought together again. The role of the grown lad is taken by Francis X. Bushman, and, to us, he seems at his best in this lad of about eighteen coming back to the country he had forsaken. Beverly Bayne, as the girl grown up, is also good, and we want to commend the child who plays the same girl when about twelve. We don't think the old people at the farm (Frank Dayton and Helen Dunbar) made as much of the emotional side of their situation as they should have; but they act their roles naturally. The photography is clear and full of atmosphere. A good release. - The Moving Picture World, September 27, 1913
