Here is a picture which will affect people differently. The acting is satisfactory and it has one novel situation, where the involved clubman is killed by a concealed mechanism when he opens the unlocked safe. The serpentine steps and lithe motions of the dancer whose attempt to warn her lover, while she amuses the baron, fails, is interesting. We have seen much more suggestive exhibitions on the vaudeville stage. The picture exists for the sake of this scene. This picture is more decadent than Oscar Wilde's "Salome," because the story is not strong. It may be called in some quarters salacious. - The Moving Picture World, May 27, 1911
