A comedy romance, well conducted for the most part and prettily acted, but neither vital nor very original. The chemist's assistant discovered a very deadly poison and was promised the chemist's dark-haired, pretty daughter as his guerdon. She preferred someone else. This assistant was played very well and his character was made to furnish the best comedy in the situation. He was especially funny in scenes where the chemist tries to force the girl to make love to him. He turns to the old man and says, helplessly. "It's no use." He seemed to look upon the girl as some refractory compound in a test tube. The other lover makes believe he has drunk some of the poison. He's going to die in ten minutes, so the old man lets him marry the girl. Then he becomes very lively and merry. The audience laughed. - The Moving Picture World, December 9, 1911
