One's attention is quickly captured by the situation developed by the first scenes of this picture; it is a situation unusually strong in the possibilities of convincing tragedy that are suggested in connection with its title. Stated briefly, the picture's whole story is of two weddings, both performed by the same minister, but the girl who, in the first instance, makes a runaway match is afterward led to suppose the marriage an illegal one. Some years later, when she is a widow, the same minister comes to marry her again and thus she learns that he was really a minister when the first ceremony was performed. This is a more commonplace development than the opening, with its harsh uncle in the background, seemed to promise, but just as it is it will make a picture that will hold the many. The author is Wallace Clifton; the producer, N. McGregor. - The Moving Picture World, December 6, 1913
