He is an old acquaintance, this cringer. Everyone maltreats him in the first act, and in the third he does something desperate "to prove" he isn't afraid. The character is interesting and fairly convincing; but the sketch gives us but a shallow view of human life; it is not a picture of courage. Courage has its foundation in wisdom and there is no wisdom and nothing that is commendable in this deed of the cringer. It convinces because of this very fact; the man is a cringer even to the bitter end. The picture has value as a side light on life and it suggests thoughts. In this case, the backgrounds are very interesting and the portrayal of the central character by Romaine Fielding is extremely competent. - The Moving Picture World, October 26, 1912
