"If you find her, Hawkins, introduce me"
I really liked the story. Millie's an intriguing, tragic and sweet character. And it's so interesting to see a film from the 1910's made by a woman, about a woman. The music is soothing and fitting. The Blue tint and the yellow tint in specific parts was nice to see. Even if the "only parental affection" part is a bit off clearly.

Alice Guy-Blaché's longest extant work is sadly incomplete, but the restoration/reconstruction available from Kino is excellent. The story itself is a well-executed engaging melodrama, made, I think, more interesting by the fact that it lacks footage from key scenes which have to be conveyed through lone stills and expository intertitles. Getting the film's climax/resolution as a title card and jumping straight to the epilog gives a weird and intriguing effect to the ending.
