The old story told over again of the country girl who is lured to the city by a false offer of marriage and discovers too late that she has loved not wisely, but too well. Leaving her lover, she walks the streets in despair until taken in hand by a Salvation Army lassie. Next she goes on board an emigrant ship, but is wrecked and is washed ashore at her old home, where her former lover receives her with open arms, and the sun breaks through the clouds. The photography of most of this picture cannot be too highly commended. It is clear and of perfect tones. The shipwreck scene reproduces lightning very vividly. And the ocean views where the wreckage is drifting over the waters near shore is realistic. The acting in most instances is good, though occasionally it weakens and doesn't appear up to the standard required by the picture or its sentiment. As a whole, however, it is a remarkably fine film and deserves a long run. - The Moving Picture World, January 14, 1911
