- In the cast Mary Alden plays the leading role, that of the mother, who appears first as the young matron with her six children of school age. Then, a little older, with greying hair, she is their companion and advisor. Finally, they grow to manhood and womanhood, leave the old nest and strike out into the world for themselves. Here, the poignancy of Miss Alden's acting as the old mother is irresistible. (Print Ad-Daily Banner, ((Cambridge, Md.)) 5 November 1921)
