    There is very little real drama in "Her Mistake," a photonovel produced by Julius Steger, with Evelyn Nesbit and her son, Russell, featured. This simple love story is absolutely without thrills, but the character of Rose is a sympathetic one, and is admirably suited to the personality and acting ability of Evelyn Nesbit. In the earlier scenes she hardly looks an eighteen-year-old girl, but in the latter portion of the picture carries her share of the situations surprisingly well. Her son, Russell, is a real help to the picture. Julius Steger has produced "Her Mistake'' with good effect, and the mountain scenery is often beautiful. Eugene Strong, Lois Meredith, and Charles Wellsley are the prominent members of the support. - The Moving Picture World, May 4, 1918
