Among the regular releases, not counting comedies, this offering seemed to take best with the audience. It is conventional in outline; but is pleasingly acted, fairly well set and photographed, and dramatic. At two or three points, and these the pivotal places from which the story gets its interest, it very closely resembles "The Stolen Symphony," produced for the Lubin people by Arthur Johnson, a picture which was much better in every way. If the author, Malcolm Douglas, has not seen the former offering, he deserves credit, otherwise not much. Lem Parker produced it with Al Filson in the cast as an old composer whose beautiful melody is overheard by Al Ernest Garcia, a fraudulent musician, who writes it out and sells it for an original composition. The heroine and daughter of the composer, Kathlyn Williams, is the means of bringing him to justice with the help of Harold Lockwood, a publisher. The photography is very good. - The Moving Picture World, June 7, 1913
