The Bond of Brotherhood

The acting is of high order

A fairly dramatic picture in which the bond between two brothers proves stronger, when brought to the final test than the infatuation both have conceived for a worthless flirt who has played with both. It was taken wholly in the studio and has been very carefully staged. The acting too is of high order. We can safely count it a little higher than the ordinary offering by this company whose work keeps a high level. The photography is perfect. - The Moving Picture World, March 1, 1913

Hubert Barry, a painter, is engaged to marry Mrs. Walters, a divorcee. He is with her when he receives a letter from his brother. The brother asks that Hubert find him a job, to once more give him help. The brother, Maurice, arrives, and Hubert installs a laboratory for his brother, a chemist, near Hubert's studio. Mrs. Walters is an incorrigible flirt and shows marked favor to Maurice. This flirtation grows daily in danger. Scandal threatens. Hubert is unaware of the duplicity. He learns the truth at a reception given by her when he finds her in the arms of Maurice. In rage, that his kindness be so illy rewarded, grieved that his love for his brother and Mrs. Walters should be so flouted, Hubert orders Maurice from the house and tells him that never again he wishes to see his face. Maurice goes to his rooms and packs his belongings. He then enters his laboratory and experiments with new explosives. There is a confusion of chemical elements, an explosion. Maurice, stunned and scorched by the flames, staggers out of the room and falls unconscious. Hubert, soul wounded, has gone to his mother's house. Although in mental torture, he will not worry her by telling of the deception of Maurice. With his mother he goes to his home. As he enters, there he finds Maurice senseless on the floor. At his side is a note written preparatory to his going away. It is addressed to Hubert and asks his forgiveness for the folly and deception of the brother for whom Hubert had done so much. His auger partly dissolved, Hubert, with the aid of his mother, revives him. As Maurice slowly returns to consciousness, Mrs. Walters enters. It is a trying moment. Here is he whom she had injured almost irreparably in the heart of his brother and who may now be injured for the length of his life. Mrs. Walters, seeking her own interest, advances to the side of Hubert and tries to retrieve his flown affections. There is one to intervene, one to stop in time the alliance of Hubert with such a worthless woman. It is the mother. She steps between her sons, brings them together in body, soul and spirit. She then denounces the woman who had threatened the bond of brotherhood, waves her out of the door, out of their lives.
