Entertaining and generally pleasing

A two-reel number, written by Marc Edmund Jones, which runs in an entertaining and generally pleasing way. It is the story of a young musical genius whose eyesight is threatened by the strain of late hours. He goes to the country, where he meets the girl. Ed Coxen and Winifred Greenwood play the lovers and handle the parts in a consistent, appealing way. On his return to the city the hero's eyesight begins failing; he hastens back to the girl to see her once more before he completely loses his sight. The remainder of the story is equally good; his successful composition and subsequent fame, the discovery of glasses which restore his vision by an ultra ray, and then the final return of the couple to the hills. The photography is pleasing throughout. - The Moving Picture World, October 31, 1914
