Intensity and suspense

A picture drama in two acts, featuring Alice Hollister, supported by Harry Millarde and a good cast of supporting actors, directed by Robert G. Vignola. From the opening scene this picture grows in interest, from the fact that it contains in its action intensity and suspense as to the final outcome. An accidental auto wreck is one of its features. This picture holds the closest attention and is splendidly acted and photographed. - The Moving Picture World, November 7, 1914
