Has come to be quite conventional

Sincere acting helps to make convincing this story of the girl shoplifter. Her husband is shot; she is sentenced to prison and her boy child adopted by a family. In later years, after her redemption, she is released and takes the boy again. The piece then shows how the young fellow's love affair is almost wrecked by the reappearance of Kidd Hogg, an old pal of his mother and father. But all turns out right in the end after Kidd's confession. This type of story has come to be quite conventional, but when skillfully handled, as in this instance, it proves interesting. Ormi Hawley plays the lead very acceptably. - The Moving Picture World, August 1, 1914
