It is the very best offering today

A rich widower's wayward son needs a mother's care and the woman accepts the proposal and soon the new husband is jealous of the son, but without cause. The outcome is tragic, for the son commits murder and is shot wantonly by the sheriff, a thing not commendable in any sheriff. It is the very best offering today, for the plot is effectively handled and the characters splendidly acted. The story is not great and suffers much from badly chosen subtitles, Edith Story, as the woman, does strong work, outclassing all the other players, though Ned Finley with the other support does well, too. The script is by Eric Hoecker and the producers are Ned Finley and James W. Castle. - The Moving Picture World, October 25, 1913
