It surely has many very pretty scenes

It is hard to tell, at first, whether this picture is intended as a farce or a drama. It is not a picture to call strongly to city audiences who know much about criminals and detectives. In the East Side audience there were several who jeered some of the things it showed. Isabelle Lamon, as Violet, is nothing but a very pretty society belle and more or less ridiculous in the role of detective, while nothing could be more ridiculous than the work of the criminal, as shown. Such a picture may go in places; it surely has many very pretty scenes and has been finely photographed. - The Moving Picture World, June 21, 1913
