Reception

[edit]

George Blaisdell of The Moving Picture World called the film a "splendid type of finished photoplay" and wrote that the "steady interest of the story itself is enhanced by the work of the cast as well as of the directors."[3] Thomas C. Kennedy of Motography wrote that Porter and Ford "have procured the maximum of dramatic effect out of fine material." He opined that the "dramatic situations are not forced and are arrived at convincingly" and praised the setting and the cinematography.[4] William Ressman Andrews of Motion Picture News praised Frederick's performance and the cinematography.[5]
