    A dramatic story with an old situation, but it has been developed in the latest style and mixed with some good comedy. A little girl picks up some gems dropped from her father's pocket and hides them in her doll. The father is accused of theft and sent to prison. Escaping, he is aided by the fact that the Pathe Freres are taking a picture of an escaping convict. Later the father is shown to be innocent. The photography is almost perfect and the offering seemed to be acceptable to a large audience. Paul Panzer takes the leading role. - The Moving Picture World, March 29, 1913
