A good deal more might have been gotten out of it

There is a fine situation just before this picture's climax, but one feels that a good deal more might have been gotten out of it if it had been made the primary theme, and much of the early part been merely implied. The picture deals with the ex-convict who is being blackmailed by one who knew him in prison. He has a brother who looks like him and has heart disease. The brother dies in his room and he fixes it so that the blackmailer will be deceived, and the man is accused of murder. Oscar Eagle produced it from the script of A.P. Hankins. It is very well played, with C, Clary as the hero; J. Nelson, the fellow convict; W. Stowell, the brother. T.J. Commerford, Lillian Logan and others have roles. The photography is very good. - The Moving Picture World, April 5, 1913
