A two part love story in the gorgeous costume of the Court of Napoleon I. The leading romantic roles are taken by Leah Baird, a peasant whom the empress has noticed and taken to the court, and Earle Williams, a hostage from Austria, who falls in love with her. These two escape together after a most pleasingly romantic climax. A large cast of the Vitagraph Company's best players support the story. It doesn't give any "great" moments and, except in the unexpected and startling outcome, is never brilliant; yet it interests and is a very good offering. The lighting and photography are only so so. There is some not wholly unforced comedy in the first reel, but when the story gets under way, it is substantial. - The Moving Picture World, May 10, 1913
