Plot: Norbert Lusk has built up a remarkably truthful domestic tragedy, made possible by a man's weakness and a woman's selfishness and head-strong will. The author has drawn no fanciful picture of Madeline Danby, who leaves her husband and child for a stage career; neither has he painted her in likable colors. The lack of firmness which the husband displays in permitting Madeline to come back and upset his domestic establishment and thus bring on the tragedy, will also not endear him to an audience. It is a powerful two-reel drama, nevertheless. Norma Talmadge and Harry Morey could not be improved upon, and Producer Van Dyke Brooke deserves equal praise. - Moving Picture World, May 15, 1915.
