The opening situation of this picture interested us greatly, but, in its development, we found several things that lack common sense, are not at all convincing, and mar the effect of it as a whole. In the first place, to make the girl herself send a bribe didn't help the drama much, for we practically knew that the Governor wouldn't accept it. It is hardly convincing; she knows the financiers are going to bribe him, too. This is a picture of surprises and it really gives one surprise away. There are other theatrical expedients that make it artificial. Yet it has much that keeps it entertaining. The playing of Francis Carlyle, as the Governor, is worthy and is well supported by Maidel Turner as the girl, and others. There are many fine sets which have all been beautifully photographed. It was produced by L.B. Carleton from the script of Emmett Campbell Hall. - The Moving Picture World, August 16, 1913
