    A drama which has plenty of that much wanted feature of films, action. It is a melodrama which will appeal very strongly to a large number, since it tells the story of a poor man who is apparently beaten in his struggle with the world and whose wife temporarily deserts him and goes with a former admirer who turns out to be the leader of a gang of counterfeiters. There are the pathetic features of hungry children, a discouraged husband, arrests and other accompaniments which go to show the difficulties which may beset one in his daily struggle. The actors are all artists of more than local reputation and while the action is what is most wanted, the acting is quite up to the highest Pathe standard. The film is beautifully photographed and reproduced. The story is well told, hence all the qualities which go toward making a good film are present. There is no reason why this should not be popular. - The Moving Picture World, October 16, 1909
