Sincerely presented
by deickemeyer2018-04-28

"A powerfully worked out two-reel number, with Eleanor Woodruflf, Irving Cummings and Gerald Harcourt in the cast. In the story the successful operatic composer, who has lost his touch, buys the rights of a score from a broken down composer. This he brings out as his own composition, but the real writer of the score comes in during the performance and exposes the miscreant, who kills himself with the hanging sword. This is finely photographed and sincerely presented; it carries conviction in every scene. A good offering. - The Moving Picture World, February 7, 1914..."
