Kitty, of this two-part picture, is a young wife; the role is played by Lillian Gish and Robert Harron plays her husband, he's a farmer and bashful for a husband. In fact, the whole situation (it takes all of the first reel) is most improbable. We have never seen a picture so filled with wholly pretty scenes tell so unlikely a story. Yet the second reel becomes, in a way, dramatic; at least, it tells an understandable story. Even in the first reel there are moments of great truth and humanity, such scenes, for example, as the young husband's going away with his uncertain leave-taking are nothing less than great. Then there is plenty of quality in the second reel and it has a sensational, red-heart-of-humanity ending. That last scene of all rises to real poetry. The author is Christie Cabanne. Beautiful photography helps it. - The Moving Picture World, June 27, 1914
