Especially worthy of praise is Florence Dye

William Duncan writes and produces this story. Also he plays the role of Captain Ellsmere, a former British officer fallen on evil days. It will cause wonder on the part of some why the mine owner, when he believed his daughter to be imprisoned in a burning mine, did not himself go to her rescue instead of appealing to an employee. The story is well acted. Especially worthy of praise is Florence Dye, in the role of a waitress. Myrtle Stedman as the mine owner's daughter is wholesome, convincing. There is a distinct literary flavor to the letter sent by the waitress to the captain telling him she is already married. Effective also is the last scene taken on the rear platform of an observation car. These two bits constitute real punches. - The Moving Picture World, January 17, 1914
