A well-made and acted picture
by deickemeyer β€’ 2018-12-30

"A two-part picture play, the plot of which is not altogether new. The theme is the fulfillment of a wife's ambition. She is imbued with social aspirations to the neglect of her husband, but the life soon wanes and she does not find the happiness she hoped for, and she confesses it to her husband. She is welcomed and finds the happiness she has yearned for with him, back in the "house on the hill." This is a well-made and acted picture with an all-star Vitagraph cast. The audience seemed to enjoy it. - The Moving Picture World, August 22, 1914..."
