A two-part special that seemed very acceptable to a large audience; there was applause in the gallery. It is a devout picture, dealing with the sanctuary to criminals that the Church in some places accords. Its object is to show the spirit of good in life as overcoming evil. It takes for its hero a man very much in love with a girl not worth loving, and for its villain the man's friend; he supplants him in the girl's affections. There is atmosphere in the portrayal by Romaine Fielding of the hero who becomes a monk, but very little in any of the other characters. The offering is effective in "getting across" and impresses one as sincere in its religious feeling. The backgrounds are well chosen and, for the most part, beautifully photographed. Romaine Fielding plays the hero; Burton King, the villain, and Adele Lane, the girl. It was written by Wilbert Melville. - The Moving Picture World, August 30, 1913
