User Reviews

This fairly powerful picture pleased a large audience on the East Side and the reviewer heard someone behind strongly commend it. It's a story told to a priest by a man condemned to death for murder, the explanation of his act. Sunshine was his sister's name. He and she were orphans and the boy had brought her up until she had been falsely lured away and ruined. He was half-crazed and searched for her for years until he found his sister, and later the man, whom then he murdered. This narrative is pictured on the walls of the cell and the camera work has accomplished it pleasingly. Harry Mainhall has power in his emotional presentation as the condemned man. We have noticed him and are watching his work with interest. Ruth Stonehouse plays "Sunshine," after she is grown up, and makes of the girl an appealingly forlorn picture. Harry Cashman is the priest. It's a good picture. - The Moving Picture World, November 9, 1912
