The love is weak and unconvincing
deickemeyer9 March 2017
A melodrama depends on its love story, even when it contains the most exciting action. Without a strong love story, it is hard to make any story of villainy convincing, and when, as in this case, the love story is strictly subordinate, the whole suffers. The love is weak and unconvincing, but we have a struggle in the dark with revolver flashes only seen. This can be made very effective by a good sound effect man. We also have in the picture a dynamite explosion in a mine which is an exciting incident. As a whole, being well photographed, it makes a very fair offering. - The Moving Picture World, November 16, 1912
