In this production the Vignola and Hobart combination has scored another triumph. A more interesting story, or a plot with great heart interest would be hard to find. And in addition we have an excellent cast that lives up to the respective roles, perfect photography, and settings both interior and exterior, that are realistic to the smallest detail.
The story deals with a lonely couple who have sacrificed their all, that their ingrate son might have a college education. How their home is finally lost to them by the neglect of the son; how the latter in his new position of district attorney sends his father to prison to gratify his own personal vanity; how the son is ensnared by an adventuress (Alice Hollister) only to be finally rescued by his mother; these are only a few of the passages in this most interesting photo play.
There is a good moral in this play, and the beholder is not conscious of the passage of time, so absorbing is the plot. There is action in every foot of the film and not a dull moment.
Harry Millarde plays the part of the ungrateful son, but the honors are due Helen Lindroth, who in the role of his mother gives a wonderful presentation. Henry Hallam is also good in his interpretation of the father.
All together this production is one of the best of the month. It will fit on any program, and is equally suitable to a large theatre or church benefit performance. - Motion Picture News, June 26, 1915.
