She does some fine work in picturing a mother

[deickemeyer · 25 June 2017]

Some of the scenes in this picture give Julia Swayne Gordon a better chance than she has had, so far as we have noticed, in a long while and it is needless to say that she does some fine work in picturing a mother and also one who will soon be a mother again, as unjustly accused of killing her husband and condemned to die. We are shown who did the murder, the trial and scenes in the prison. When the woman's condition is discovered, the governor commutes the sentence. Meanwhile, the culprit's conscience has been troubling him and he confesses. Hal Reid is both author and producer. Robert Gaillord, Adele de Garde, E. R. Phillips and Logan Paul have parts and do good work. It makes a very fair picture. - The Moving Picture World, February 1, 1913
