The players in this sensational picture of Italian passion and vengeance were well chosen and present the three leading parts with much skill. The picture is one that will hold attention under usual conditions, although exciting as it is, it might have been made a bit speedier. It seems to drag a bit at times, perhaps due to the fact that, being a melodrama along conventional lines, the mind can too readily and too surely foresee the outcome. The acting and the settings of the picture are very meritorious. It tells of two brothers who had come to America. The younger, a sculptor, got a position in the West, and his brother promised to look after Dema, the sweetheart who was expected on a ship. The girl comes and the older brother falls in love with her, lies to her and keeps her from hearing from her lover. She marries him and he is not true to her. The other brother, in despair, comes back and the whole business is uncovered. There's a stiletto fight in the dark restaurant. - The Moving Picture World, November 4, 1911
