Somewhat stronger than the average

A two-reel financial play, with Walter Edwards, Clara Williams and others in the cast. Steele brings home a friend to dinner, the friend falls in love with Steele's wife. Later he gives Steele a false tip on the market and breaks him, at the same time running off with his wife. Steele goes to Alaska, strikes it rich and later returns to Wall Street, where he has his revenge. The story has a conventional start but works up to scenes of stronger interest toward the close. The wrecking of Hanlon was dramatic and the number as a whole is somewhat stronger than the average production. - The Moving Picture World, May 1, 1915
