    This is splendidly photographed

    A two-reel production by Ince and Sullivan, showing how the early influences on a medical graduate return later in life. The young doctor rises to the top of his profession and saves the husband of the woman he has always loved, in spite of her desire and his own that the man should die. Later he wins her anyway. This is splendidly photographed and particularly well acted. The plot is somewhat obvious, but has a new turn at the last. It makes altogether quite a strong offering. - The Moving Picture World, October 31, 1914
