Quite absorbing

A two reel number with Sydney Bracey, Frank Farrington and Minnie Berlin in the cast. Sid is fond of drink and cares for nothing but his sister. She marries an inventor and Sid goes to the city, where he becomes leader of a band of crooks. In later years the sister and her husband move to the city. She is neglected by her husband and permits one of his friends to call upon her. The husband returns unexpectedly. His friend beats a retreat and the erring brother, who has entered the house as a burglar, is discovered. This works up to a strongly dramatic situation and on the whole proves quite absorbing. - The Moving Picture World, March 13, 1915
