The best picture of the day by far. These two reels are made in the Paris studio. They tell a human story that grips from beginning to end. The wills that clash are those of a son and a mother who has objected to the former, a painter, choosing his model for his wife. There are four principals in the cast, the son, the mother, the model and a nurse. Their work is compelling, artistic and lifelike. It is a pretty story, with a delightful ending. The whole production is most praiseworthy. - The Moving Picture World, January 17, 1914
