No one needs to tell frequenters of motion picture halls that this is a military picture of 1776 and Revolutionary times. Its greatest asset is Molly herself, who is a good actress as well as charming to look at. In the first scene she showed herself a better soldier than the wounded actor she displaced at the cannon. Aside from its pretty scenes, including a battle, the picture makes no deep impression. The rescue of Molly's sweetheart, for instance, from the British-Hessian prison, was not at all convincing. As shown, there was no need of rescuing him; he could have walked out. However, Revolutionary pictures are popular. This will be liked too. - The Moving Picture World, December 23, 1911
