Nearly all the foreign films are very well photographed. The camera work shown by this picture is, it seems to this reviewer, far better, more careful, than that we usually see in pictures made in this country. We can turn out beautiful work of this kind, but our average work seems some distance below the standard set abroad. The story, domestic infidelity causes the situation that is pictured, has an unusual ending. The husband doesn't kill the interloper; he staggers out with a drunken grin of contempt, leaving the man and woman in the slatternly cabin. "What's the use?" it seems to ask with mordant sarcasm. The situation in which the old man found himself didn't appeal to his drunken brain as being worth a tragic ending. To have killed the man would have been, it must have seemed to him, an anti-climax. The acting is very good and the picture is conducted so as to make it intensely dramatic. - The Moving Picture World, August 12, 1911
