    Never grows trite

    A love story of rough but human hearts; it ought to make a very fair offering. The same situations and sentiments have been used in other offerings. They are of the kind that never grow trite and we have never seen them used as effectively as in this story without the picture's being a decided success. The staging and the camera work are commendable. - The Moving Picture World, March 7, 1914
