The acting of the leading woman is the strongest thing

A clearly suggested slip in morals on the part of a mountain girl with a city man is the cause of a series of tragic episodes leading to the death of the male offender years later. The woman's mountain lover had married her notwithstanding; but she had died in child birth. The story without being deeply offensive is not of the most healthy quality, because it isn't truthful. There is action all through it; but it is not dramatic in any real sense of the term. The acting of the leading woman in the first episode is the strongest thing in the offering. The backgrounds are well chosen and the camera work is praiseworthy. - The Moving Picture World, April 4, 1914
