The concluding two reels of this special dramatic subject in two parts are made interesting with a fairly faithful reproduction of some of the methods which the police use in forcing confessions from people whom they suspect of crime, the "Third Degree," as it is called. The son, falsely accused, is freed when the telephone, girl identifies the voice of the real criminal, who has also been arrested. In its entirety, "The Voice at the Telephone" is well worthwhile; the division into two parts has been skillfully made and those who see the first installment will have great curiosity to see the second. - The Moving Picture World, June 27, 1914

There is no waste action

This two-reeler is the first half of a rapid fire dramatic picture made to be released in two installments. A father disowns a wayward son. Entering the home from which he has been driven surreptitiously to remove his belongings, the son is discovered just after his father has been seriously wounded in a fight with a burglar. A telephone girl at the city exchange has heard the voice of the father's assailant after the instrument has been knocked from the old man's hand as he is calling for help. The son is arrested for the assault and circumstances seem to convict him. There is no waste action in this first installment. Poor photography has marred it in one or two places. - The Moving Picture World, June 27, 1914
