Very good photography is one of the fine points of this acceptable picture of an only son and his mother. The lad leaves the mother in the country, to make his way in the city, and falls into bad company. He has lost his job by playing crap when he should have been giving his employer's business the attention he was paid for. The old mother comes to the city to look him up, and in a few interesting closing scenes finds that he has just done a good deed and is ready to make a man of himself. Such pictures have a worthy, wholesome effect, and since the story is well told and clear, this one will be acceptable to all classes. Ormi Hawley plays the old mother and makes her a character that is human and real. Harold Lockwood, as the son, and Herbert Rawlinson, as the youth who leads him astray, are also worthy of mention. - The Moving Picture World, March 1, 1913
