Reviews: [The Moving Picture World, 21 September 1912, page ?] The old tune, in this picture of the Southwest, makes a man, whose memory had years before been made blank by sunstroke, remember who he is. He had been a good citizen before the stroke; but after it, a bad man. Now an old tune played by a priest, his childhood’s friend, recalls the past just before he is shot dead. The opening scenes are very poetic and very tender as a picture of childhood. The set showing the priest’s home is lovely. The continuation of the story is not very effective, not more so than is the average picture. The end is once more in the priest’s house. There is much that is extremely good and fresh and human in the picture. We think that it will be liked.
