Will probably convince spectators who know nothing about Wall Street
A picture telling a melodramatic story in which two interesting characters figure, a father, played by Phillips, and a son, played by Williams. The story is clear and, as told, will probably convince spectators who know nothing about Wall Street. The two chief characters are pretty well acted and will probably convince those who do know the street, at least, as types of men. The father is one of those successful men, so conceited that only his own ideas go. No one else knows anything. He exasperates his son. The son goes into business for himself and, in a time of panic, brings his father by speculating against him to the verge of ruin. There's a mother and also a sweetheart in the picture. These bring about a reconciliation. The picture isn't very vital in its presentation of life, and it has one or two scenes that are not strong; but it is fairly interesting. The audience didn't applaud. The camera work is all right. - The Moving Picture World, April 27, 1912
