Free from the usual sordid details
deickemeyer2 November 2019
This two-reel offering, written by Wm. Addison Lathrop. makes one of the best slum stories thus far released. Etienne Girardot gives a convincing portrayal of the crabbed old millionaire who is injured on the rotten stairway of his own tenement. The orphan children take him in and care for him, calling him Uncle John at his request. Wm. Garwood and Violet Mersereau play the lovers. The story is free from the usual sordid details which characterize the average slum story, yet at the same time carries its point. The fire scene and rescue work were finely staged. A good offering. - The Moving Picture World, March 27, 1915
