In the second scene of this two-reel story the writer noticed a jarring note, in the ridiculous manner in which the stenographer was made to chew gum. From this time on until the last scene the picture held tight in spite of one or two instances in which slight improbabilities entered in. Mr. Bushman as the unwilling bridegroom and Beverly Bayne as the even more unwilling bride do splendid work in a drama replete with strong situations. The mother dictating to her shorthand-studying daughter will recall to thousands ^ad quarters of an hour spent with the pothooks. At times there is a vein of delightful if momentary comedy, as when the wife who has never seen her husband finds she is employed by him and that he is unaware of her identity. The story has unusual appeal and stirring quality; it should be a real hit. "A Misplaced Confidence" is a short comedy at the end of the second reel. It is not new, it is distinctly old, but it is very funny. - The Moving Picture World, February 14, 1914
