A patriotic offering founded on the story of Mrs. John Fowle, who did good service during the Civil War by singing to the wounded soldiers. It is shown that her sweet singing of "The Battle Hymn of the Republic," at a concert in Washington is also instrumental in persuading many to enlist. The story lacks dramatic quality, but it gives a well utilized chance of making thrilling, emotional scenes and the offering, as a whole, will be warmly received at this time, when war anniversaries are stirring old memories. It is a commendable picture, but it needs good, stirring music to help it out. Anita Stewart plays the singer and Ralph Ince appears again in his notable role as Abraham Lincoln, and surely he makes a picture of him that will be very popular; he does excellent work. The photography is clear. - The Moving Picture World, July 19, 1913
