Too bad that the skill and care that was expended hadn't been used on a better scenario
deickemeyer18 March 2017
In this picture a conventional story is very well acted and smoothly and clearly told. The sets and backgrounds are fine and it has many lovely scenes. These things alone keep its head above water and make it an acceptable offering. But it seems too bad that the skill and care that was expended hadn't been used on a better scenario. Francis X. Bushman plays a hopeless lover of a pretty girl (Beverly Bayne) who loses her sight in a chemical laboratory explosion. Her fiancé (Wm. Bailey) grows tired of her being blind and falls in love with her cousin (Mildred Weston). Howard Missimer and Helen Dunbar play Beverly's parents and Wm. Walters plays the doctor. - The Moving Picture World, December 7, 1912
