    A picture of much merit

    Two acts in which Alice Hollister is featured (little Glendora Glendon, impersonating her at the age of four, in the first scenes). The story of the plot concerns a kidnapping, by a woman of the slums, of a little daughter of an aristocratic family. The later scenes illustrate how the victim is forced to live amid miserable surroundings. How she is eventually rescued and established in her proper home is very satisfactory. A picture of much merit in all respects. - The Moving Picture World, November 14, 1914
