Has a very effective climax
by deickemeyer2018-07-30

"This story of a girl born in the slums has a very effective climax. The statue of the Madonna is her guardian saint and when the artist's model appears attired for this part she frightens away the girl's drunken father. The film is good photographically and original in theme. Margaret Gibson is pleasing as the girl. - The Moving Picture World, May 9, 1914..."
