User Reviews

A conventional drama showing how much better off the young man is, poor and happy, with the girl of his choice as compared to the rich young man who is "bagged" through the machinations of touting brothers and scheming mamas, aided and abetted by a heartless and avaricious girl, the whole blessed family living in a home of deceit. The picture is well staged, but is marred by careless editing of scenario. The discontented lover receives a note from his sweetheart in which he is addressed as Arthur; a moment later his lawyer, James Wilson, addresses him as Allen. Lawyer James Wilson introduces the young man, now dreaming he is rich, to John Wilson, a touting brother. When the aforesaid young man realizes he is in the wrong pew he asks his lawyer, James, to send him a fake telegram while the young man is a guest at the home of John. The telegram comes from his lawyer, telling of a fortune lost through speculation. The message is signed John Wilson. - The Moving Picture World, June 22, 1912
