Not convincing and not romantic
by deickemeyer2017-10-28

"The story is weak; it is not convincing and not romantic, even unpleasant. A flirtatious man (Tom Moore) is engaged to a girl (Ethel Phillips), but encounters another girl (Alice Joyce) and flirts with her. He doesn't know that she is Ethel's sister. As this situation is developed we are left supposing that the elder sister has committed suicide to make room for Alice, but the end proves that she only pretended to. The interiors are clearly photographed, but the exteriors are not up to the Kalem standard. - The Moving Picture World, August 23, 1913..."
