Cast

Reception

In a positive review, Motography called the film "one of the most wholesome heart-interest stories ever released by the American Film Manufacturing Company". It continued, "Photographically the feature is a gem, some of the scenes on a peaceful farm being real works of art, and comparable to nothing less than paintings. Harry Von Meter, Jack Richardson, Vivian Rich and Charlotte Burton have the four leading roles, and all of them are seen to advantage, though possibly Mr. Richardson is a bit the more entitled to praise for his clever characterizations."[2]

In another positive review, The Moving Picture World praised the film for being "very successful in its way and lead[ing] up to a home-coming scene of real pathos" and said, "This is obviously sentimental in treatment, but gets over very well. The photography is pleasing and the cast good."[3] Reel Life said the film was "a touching drama of love, disappointment and tardy fulfillment".[1]
