Almost irresistible in its appeal
deickemeyer20 February 2015
A graphic illustration of a delicate question. It is impossible for one person to help loving another. The reason no man knows, yet examples of misplaced love are so common that they have ceased to excite interest. In the instance illustrated the girl accepts what seems to her the only alternative, and yet fate was unkind to her, since the matter could have been made right had her lover remained near her for only a few hours longer. Possibly this film may seem unreal to some, yet it is unquestionably far too real, and far too true to real life to make it pleasant for many who will see it. One's thoughts almost unconsciously wander to similar cases one may have known, and the almost tragic fate of the unfortunate girl in this instance arouses sympathy. Technically almost perfect, the picture is almost irresistible in its appeal. - The Moving Picture World, January 29, 1910
