This picture stands securely on its scenes, beautifully lighted and perfectly photographed. Caroline Cooke and Winnifred Greenwood, the widow and her daughter, appear in very pretty gowns and, acting simply and naturally, are all that is charming. It hardly tells a story, and is not dramatic, but shows the growing up of the girl who runs away from a good home to a fast life and ends in sorrow. She is homeless and is rescued by the Salvation Army workers. During its development Father Time appears (a double exposure), as though to show that what is written is written and nothing can efface it. At the end a vision of Christ appears, just before Time turns his glass and begins again. The sub-titles are beneath comment, but the picture is full of merit. Its author is Mrs. O. Bronson, and Lorimer Johnston produced it. Carl Winterhoff, Harry Lonsdale and LaFayette McKee have roles as the man the girl ran away with, the minister and Time. - The Moving Picture World, March 29, 1913
