Some of its scenes are nothing less than lovely
by deickemeyer2018-12-26

"A two-part offering that tells a pretty story and would have been a strong release in one reel. At the end the blind girl has her sight restored, as is usual in these stories. She is sent, an orphan, to her uncle whose family is walking in dangerous places and brings love and light to them. This is very pretty, but to have her marry the rake of a son seems hardly convincing. One thing it is very strong on, and that is photography; some of its scenes are nothing less than lovely. It will be liked for its good things. - The Moving Picture World, August 15, 1914..."
