The acting is so so

Two-part melodrama, by Shannon Fife, produced by Edgar Jones. It holds the attention fairly well, but makes a son, as acting district attorney, prosecute his father for fraudulent use of the mails. This son had been arguing with his father about his business methods for years, but the old man thinks no one dishonest until caught. But the incident, the son's acting against his parent, falls down in tact and its bad effect was noticeable, especially on older spectators. The story is clear and, without really convincing, is made plausible. The acting is so so and the photography good. A fair offering. These "fair" offerings make none enthusiastic and don't compel any to come again, but those who are in the house like them. - The Moving Picture World, July 4, 1914
