There's a white rose growing near the window of this story's mountain cabin, but the heroine who lives there with her brother and sister is "The White Rose of the Wilds." This Rose (the Biograph Company does not publish the names of its players) makes a very good heroine for such a story. Up to a certain point the climax matches that of Moody's "The Great Divide." It was changed to fit this different heroine, who doesn't barter herself for protection to the strongest of three men who attack her, but by her innocence after he has disposed of the other two roughs, she vanquishes him, and he promises to leave her. He has no chance to show this though, for at that moment he is captured, and the Rose saves his life. The story of the film is well constructed and the producer has used a great deal of art in making its tense moments effective. The acting of "The Rose" in particular is natural and very pleasing. The chief rough seemed to be very much a gentleman, but the story wouldn't stand realism in his acting. The other parts were fairly well acted. Among films of the week, this will find an honorable place. - The Moving Picture World, June 10, 1911
