    One-third Dickens
    The atmosphere of this two-part drama by Shannon Fife is one-third Dickens and the rest Owen Davis. There is incident aplenty in the film, much of it highly dramatic but it carries little conviction. A number of Mr. Fife's expert touches in dealing with life are scattered through it, but he has failed to blend his material with his usual skill. Arthur Matthews and Ethel Clayton lead the acting, and with Percy Winter and Eleanor Dunn round out a capital performance. - The Moving Picture World, April 17, 1915
