Ida Maley was a familiar figure on the "Great White Way." When the glamour of her life wore away, a vague discontent possessed her, something she strongly desired but could not define. Ida was at a handsome restaurant with friends of her own kind, while an entirely different scene was taking place in her boarding house. In one of the shabby rooms a young mother was dying, leaving a baby alone in the world. When Ida returned to her home the boarding-house-keeper summoned her to the room where the mother lay dead. The landlady asked her to care for the baby until it could be turned over to the authorities. Ida consented, for the little mite possessed a strong appeal to her, but after the mother was buried she felt unable to surrender the child. The natural love which all women have for children was the cause for her previous unrest, and the baby her solace. Her gay companions urged her to return to them, but a pair of little baby hands drew her back and saved her from temptation. In a little country town she made a home with the baby, and found happiness in the love the little tot gave her. Several years passed and the country people grew to respect and like the pleasant dressmaker and her little "daughter." A merry party of automobilists passed through the village, and recognized in the dressmaker their companion of years gone by. They urged her to return to the old life, but she resolutely declined. The village gossip chanced to overhear the conversation, and repeated it with great elaboration. The people of the little town decided that Ida Maley was not a fit person to associate with, and a committee was appointed to request her to leave town. The committee never delivered the message, and Ida Maley still lives in the village, beloved and respected by all, for a scene of which they were unconscious eavesdroppers convinced them that she was a most desirable neighbor and the best guardian the child could have.

There is undoubtedly a good idea in this him, but it is put together hastily and lacks necessary feeling. The relationship of characters was not clear and the death of the wife was too sudden. Some of the scenes are well handled and the characterizations are quite pleasing. - The Moving Picture World, January 10, 1914
