Suffragettes will probably think it an epic of their great cause
An offering in four reels that we feel sure will "take" extremely well in places where people read newspapers and are wondering at those "wild women," the English suffragettes. It is the first picture, so far as we know, that has tried to put the inner qualities of this fanaticism before us. Suffragettes will probably think it an epic of their great cause, while others will see in it a clear-eyed showing of the truth about it. The heroine is the wife of the chief justice and she is so much a fanatic that she places a bomb in the cellar of her husband's house as a rebuke to his sentencing her to three months' imprisonment for complicity in an unsuccessful attempt on the prime minister. Looking in at a window she finds to her horror that her husband and child are at home. In the picture are many scenes of great interest aside from their place in the story that they make convincing. Of such are street scenes taken in London in which suffragettes figure and also one showing a beautiful church that is being burnt by the wild women. A very interesting number, and a good offering to liven things up where business is dull. It will start talk. - The Moving Picture World, July 25, 1914
