The situation behind this picture has dramatic possibilities, but it did not get over very effectively, because, in the development, those things that were most important, were not always assuredly recognized and brought out clearly; the principal lines were at times blurred. We believe the fault lies more with the players than with the author, and the little heroine herself is the weakest factor in it. Yet, while it doesn't grip, it interests, as a character sketch. The motherless girl, daughter of a thief, is living with her uncle and her aunt, who does not like her. To win her aunt's affection she is working for the neighbors secretly, so as to get a birthday present to give her. The aunt finds her little hoard and thinks her, too, a thief. It has a happy ending. The script, by B.M. Harvey, was produced by Charles Kent, with Adele de Garde in the leading role and with Robert Gaillord and Leah Baird as uncle and aunt. Some of the scenes are beautiful; all are fair. - The Moving Picture World, March 29, 1913
