A classic silent that doesn't stretch itself too thin. The premise is straightforward: two people who are meant for each other bump into each other one day, but then they lose sight of each other again with no way of getting back together. It's one of the biggest romantic tragedies you can think of.
While short, the setup of the plot takes a bit too long and the ending is somewhat of a cop-out. A bit more drama could've made for an overall stronger film. But the performances are nice, the pacing is pleasant and the short runtime is perfect. It's a pretty nice and agreeable silent classic, one of the better I've seen.
