    The usual railroad story

    Eighth of the "Hazards of Helen" series, embracing the usual railroad story. While it cannot be denied that it is full of inconsistencies, this story makes people sit up and take notice. The director has handled his principals in scenes which makes the average spectator gasp, and Miss Holmes takes her hazardous chances in working out the offering to its usual ending. The dives into the river arc magnificently done. - The Moving Picture World, January 16, 1915
