The story follows familiar lines

This two-reel offering, written by William H. Clifford, tells a story of stage life as it is commonly depicted. The manager engages the young girl for personal reasons and intends luring her to her ruin. In a series of exciting scenes the older girl, already his victim, contrives to save Hazel. The leading parts are well acted and while the story follows familiar lines it possesses a strong interest and works up to a stirring climax. - The Moving Picture World, December 20, 1913
