The plot is filled with dramatic action and a great many authentic scenes of the “Mother City of the World,” from which the picture takes its name. Dorothy Gish, one of the most popular and pleasing actresses on the' screen to-day, who is working in England at present, plays her greatest role since “Way Down East,” as the little waif transplanted from sordid Limehouse to Mayfair.
