The interesting train of circumstances that brings back to his loving wife a man long reported dead, makes the backbone of this two-part Kalem offering. The woman was even standing up to be married to another man when the telegram from the West comes and she finds that she is not a widow. All this part of the story, well acted, human and pleasing as it is, holds strongly and is, in its melodramatic way, effective. This picture has a good story to tell, but its earlier scenes hurry one to it, bringing forward any character that is needed at any time, regardless of whether his being just there at that very moment is plausible or not. One would think its producer was hypnotized by the good tale coming and wanted to get at it so much that he didn't care, in his approach, if his steps, looked ten feet long. Truly, when he gets to the really interesting part he does the kind of work that gives him credit. - The Moving Picture World, January 23, 1915
