It shows far more truth than would be possible in a theater
by deickemeyer2016-03-15

"Melodrama takes place after true drama chiefly because it aims to give a thrill rather than an edifying emotion. This more than ordinarily interesting Biograph picture uses the melodrama's privilege of playing to the gallery only in one scene, its climax, in which the hero, a rather slight lad, disposes of two burly gangsters who are armed. From the gallery's viewpoint and from the moralist's immediate viewpoint, this is a virtue. Aside from this, the picture is true enough to life to be instructive. It's a story of the slums and it is dramatic enough to be sure of success ..."
