    There are many strong situations

    This is the sixth installment of the Edison's interesting serial story. The leading characters are Marc MacDermott, Mary Fuller, Miriam Nesbitt, Charles Ogle and Ethel Browning. There are several scenes taken on shipboard, the placing of the camera so as to show the rising and falling horizon being especially effective. A moonlight scene taken at the side of the ship is all too short. The same is true also of the view of New York harbor as the vessel slowly ascends the North River. The picture does not depend on these, however, for its interest, as there are many strong situations, one of them being where Mary is shown the portrait of her mother. - The Moving Picture World, January 11, 1913
