This is a pretty story, such as will appeal to romantic young people who work in business offices. It is a melodrama that baldly fishes for tears and doesn't disdain to use any artificial expedient to get emotions. Two crooks decide to rob an office and the woman secures employment there. She manages to ingratiate herself so completely in the boss's favor that the regular office stenographer is about to lose her position. The boss, an unmarried man, writes two letters, one to the stenographer, discharging her, and the other to the new girl doubling her salary as a valentine. Jimmie, the boy, doesn't like the way things are going and he exchanges the letters. The result is that the new girl reports to her pal that she is fired and they decide to rob the safe that night. The stenographer, because her salary was raised, is working late and hears the crooks. She telephones for the police and faints. The crooks are caught and the boss, reading of the robbery in a distant city, hurries home and finds the stenographer sick abed. He makes her presents of fruit and good things. When she returns to the office, they all give her a grand reception. The office is decked with flowers for the occasion, which gives a very emotional ending. The photographs are very good. It's a filler. - The Moving Picture World, February 10, 1912
