Charles Clary by his work makes of this play all there is in it. He has much to do and does it well. The drama is of pronounced mechanical construction; there are convenient coincidences. Carl Winterhoff, as the ward boss, is convincing; so also is the chief of police. One of the liberties taken in the scenario is the ascribing to New York City of a board of police commissioners, and of course there is none. At another time the chief of police, which New York does not possess, is represented as dismissing a sergeant of police from the force on the spot, which he cannot do. Even in film plays regard should be had for the ordinary rules of procedure. - The Moving Picture World, April 5, 1913
