Reviews: [The Moving Picture World, 10 May 1913, page ?] A substantial, well-made and exciting melodrama. There is a good fire with an explosion in it and scenes showing these have been made as effective as was possible. It is built on a standard plot, is well acted and clearly photographed. A good offering.
