No real chance for character interpretation

An overdrawn melodrama with Alice Nilsson playing the two roles of a mother who dies and of the daughter grown up. The situation from which it starts is novel, but the development falls again into a rather conventional rut and shows lack of art handling. Such a picture gives no real chance for character interpretation and the acting is filled with conventions. The story is, of course, unbelievable as life; but the picture has some very pretty scenes. - The Moving Picture World, March 21, 1914
