Here is a two-reel story, by W. MacNamara, which not only shows a brisk, modern episode in the management of city affairs, but also gives an insight into the manner in which gambling dens are actually raided by the police. We would have shortened the scenes leading up to the first incident somewhat, as it really makes the film tell two complete stories, but the interest does not drag anywhere after the real business begins. The conference of the crooks in the Tenderloin and their plans to get the new chief, played by King Baggott, out of the way was convincing The raid of the gambling rooms was true to life and later, where the girl makes use of the dictagraph, the attention is still held strongly. This is one of the best films of the kind that has been exhibited. - The Moving Picture World, May 10, 1913
