This two-reel picture is reminiscent of a big factory fire in New York City some time ago. It is a story of a heartless woman who has no thought or time for the lives and property for which she is responsible. She puts everything into the hands of her superintendent. The result is bribed inspectors; and then, through the carelessness of a cigarette-smoking workman, fire and death. Later a woman, to provide for her injured husband, steals jewelry from the factory owner, who is also her landlord, and threatening her with eviction. The story holds all the way, is thrilling at times, dramatic at others. The portrayal of life is vivid. The picture was made with the aid of the Jersey City police and fire departments. Pearl Sindelar is the owner, Irving Cummings the superintendent and Harrish Ingraham the injured employee. - The Moving Picture World, February 21, 1914
