The story is of a man who takes marriage seriously. He has fallen in love with and married a song and dance woman. She is the siren; has become the mother of his child and is ruining him by her spendthrift and devil-may-care life. Contrasted with her, is the man's partner in the dry goods business. She secretly loves him and, when he has killed his drunken, unfaithful wife and shot himself, she takes the child. Not a very pleasant or wholly new tale; but that is the only criticism we care to make of it; the rest we heartily commend. The story as directed and played held our interest strongly; we were made to feel its situations keenly. One of the first things noticeable is its remarkably clear and stereoscopic photography. The picture is so sharp that one could almost tell the fortune of one of the players when she holds her hand toward the camera, all the lines on it are written clear. The depth of the scenes and their life-like seeming are of greater importance than sharpness of detail. Here we have both. The most brilliant acting of the picture is Alice Hollister's presentation of the "siren." It is a nervous and truthful picture of a very unpleasant character, but so human that it is by no means repellent. - The Moving Picture World, April 3, 1915
