    Contains much of interest

    This is a picture play that contains much of interest, illustrating that it is possible to be a real man, even though the person is a convict. Richard C. Travers and Gerda Holmes ably handle the leading characters. Harry Mainhall is the director and plays the part of Bill's Boy in manhood. Little Tommy Harper played the role in youth. There are several intense scenes occurring, through which a scientific theme permeates. It is a well-made picture in every respect. - The Moving Picture World, September 26, 1914
