Motherless

A sumptuous production of the famous drama, "The Two Orphans." Probably this play is known to substantially everyone. It is the story of a girl and her foster sister, who through favorable circumstances rise from poverty to riches. It offers something of the melodramatic, something which appeals almost irresistibly to the audience, partly, perhaps, because it represents two unfortunates who overcome'adverse conditions and acquire a position of affluence. This sort of thing always appeals, and when it is as well done as it is in this picture, the appeal is even stronger. Both actors and photographer have performed their parts satisfactorily, producing a picture which will be popular wherever shown and which will undoubtedly rouse the sympathetic emotions of a vast majority of people in all the audiences who see it. The claims for its excellence made by its producers are amply justified and the picture is one that will stir the heart, even though one may be unconsciously indifferent. - The Moving Picture World, February 5, 1910
