A two-part picture play which is somewhat of a society drama, written by W.E. Wing, in which he demonstrates how love wins against time. E.A. Martin has directed it with all attention to details. Eugenie Besserer is featured and William Stowell ably supports her. It is a story of a woman who in her youth, obsessed with a proud spirit, sends her lover away and he departs for India on a tiger hunt. She hears news of his death and locks the iron gates of her beautiful rose garden where they last met. Twenty years later she throws open the gates and enters the garden. Her lover recovers from his injuries and coincidentally returns and enters the open gate, so love wins the race against time. The scenes and photography are beautiful. - The Moving Picture World, September 5, 1914
