The shallowness of a woman's nature

[deickemeyer · 25 May 2018]

This is a two-part drama with some beautiful domestic scenes and carries with it an interesting story worked out in a clever manner. It demonstrates the shallowness of a woman's nature, who has been taken, a shepherdess, from the sheep pastures and introduced into city environments, by an artist who marries her and devotes his whole life to trying to make her happy. She ruins him financially with her extravagances. The inevitable rich man comes between them. A divorce follows and the wife marries the banker. The first husband courts dissipation. The ending is misty and left to the imagination of the spectator. It is a well acted picture. Francis Berlani, Harry Lester and Albert Collins are the principals. - The Moving Picture World, March 7, 1914
