    Filled with jealousy and love

    In this two-part picture the plot is filled with jealousy and love. Irene Boyle plays the leading part, assisted by a strong cast. There are conventional features, and although somewhat thrilling scenes occur the desired effect does not seem to be obtained. The acting and photography are both creditable. The finale is satisfactory. - The Moving Picture World, July 18, 1914
