User Reviews

A more modern melodrama of a fishing village by Lawrence McGoskey and produced by Arthur Johnson. It is vigorous and makes itself felt on the screen as well as seen. This is because there is logic in its action; for if expectation doesn't foresee all that happens; the time of its happening is natural and it all passes as matter of course. Then the characters are strongly contrasted and, if not actual, most of them have recognizable counterparts in life. Also, the locality and the backgrounds were well chosen and add much. Last of all, the cheerful spirit of a melodrama's storm and final sunshine are present. This is not real life, but it is acceptable. Florence Hackett plays the misunderstood wife, who goes mad very effectively; opposite to Arthur Johnson as her husband. Charles Brandt plays the miserly agent and Lottie Briscoe with Howard Mitchell play the juveniles. - The Moving Picture World, November 29, 1913
