Uninteresting early scenes
deickemeyer13 January 2017
A love story set for the most part in simple interiors; it also has an interesting machine shop set. The hero is a master machinist; the heroine is the elder daughter of a doctor. As the picture opens we find this older daughter in love with the hero, while he is engaged to her sister. He is temporarily blinded and does not know that his fiancée has eloped with another man. The older sister takes her place, deceiving him to save his life. It has an all's well that ends well close. The early scenes are hurried, they are wholly without atmosphere, for the producer didn't care for the early statement; when he reached his real situation, he got atmosphere. His only fault was that he bothered with those uninteresting early scenes at all. The acting is good and the photography is commendable. - The Moving Picture World, August 17, 1912
