User Reviews

Always strong in melodrama, this company has produced a picture which combines many interesting elements and shows much real life in its changing scenes. It is an illustration of the jealousy of one brother of another's intimacy with a girl whom both loved, a false accusation of robbery which estranged the young man from his father and all the harrowing and troublesome details which usually follow such disagreeable actions. However, the villain dies and everything is settled up in the last scene to the satisfaction of everyone concerned. Like all the Kalem pictures, this one is filled with action. As for the acting in a melodrama of this character, it is vigorous enough to make plain the meaning of the story, and that, after all, is the main purpose of the film. If the story is told with sufficient fidelity to the facts to make it seem real there need be no question of the interest it will excite. The photographer has done his work quite as well in this film as he has in most of the later Kalem productions. - The Moving Picture World, November 6, 1909
