    Fairly strong

    Ethel Phillips and Stanley Walpole appear in this offering, which proves fairly strong. The young man becomes interested in the cashier girl and halts his downward course. Later her testimony in court saves him from conviction as a murderer. A good story fairly well presented. - The Moving Picture World, January 2, 1915
