    A good measure of dramatic suspense

    With a commendable purpose of picturing how the "profits of the business" may really be profits of the sale of humanity, this offering tells an interesting story with a good measure of dramatic suspense at the climax, and will be liked as an offering by most people. A hard man is head of a low-wage department store. This man has lost track of his nearest relative, a granddaughter, who, it happens, is employed in his store and this situation is used to show the old man up to himself. Would it not be more effective, as a lesson and as a drama, too, if it were made into a tragedy in which the heroine falls like her mates, just before her grandfather finds her? - The Moving Picture World, July 19, 1913
