A splendidly acted and staged picture. Technically it would be difficult to improve it. The work is all of that type which appeals alike to the artistic sense and to the pure love for pictures. Besides, it tells an interesting story, which is, perhaps, a feature worth commending. Not all do that. Another point in its favor: While one man is captured and bound to a table for a time he is released and arrives at the church too late for his wedding; but no one is killed, and even the disappointed lover seems to accept the situation good-humoredly after he discovers that it is too late to mend matters. - The Moving Picture World, January 16, 1909

Character Development

Although this was only five minutes long, there was no time for character development and I didn't connect with the players that they had to offer. The film unfolds like an Edgar Allan Poe tale rather than a structured story.
