A picture in which comedy and pathos are blended. A fun maker, filled with anxiety and fear over the illness of his daughter, appears in the circus ring and performs his part to the satisfaction of the audience. But the revelation of the pathetic side of the man, that side which tells the story of parental solicitude, is tender and appealing. It is interesting and, perhaps, in a certain sense, is a remarkable interpretation of the heart of a man. The audience is glad, however, when the film ends happily and the clown is free from his anxiety and fear when he departs for other fields to give his show. - The Moving Picture World, December 11, 1909
