This picture, though not very skillfully planned, seems to us to be the second best story of today; it deals with hypnotism as means of bringing love for his wife back into the heart of a man whom too much business has worried into brutality. One hopes for scientific stories when hypnotism is used, and this is far from being such; but most people won't know it, perhaps. In fact, the offering stands on the good things in it; the acting, especially of E.H. Calvert, the business man. Bryant Washburn gives an interesting Mephistopheles-like touch to the hypnotist, "the mysterious stranger." Audiences will surely feel that it is not convincing, or else that love is not worthwhile. The sets and photography are commendable. - The Moving Picture World, June 28, 1913
