Keeps the onlooker on edge

One of the most powerful dramas this writer has ever seen on the screen. It is always a pleasure to see Arthur Johnson in a picture, but when he puts his energies to a two-reel subject we are certain of something unusual. This drama is splendidly staged and splendidly acted. Most of the scenes are interiors, and they are elaborate. Mr. Johnson always is skillful in plotting a restaurant scene. So also he is here. Above all, however, in this picture is the holding power. From beginning to end it keeps the onlooker on edge. While Mr. Johnson personally dominates the two reels, there are several who yield him the strongest support: Florence Hackett, Lottie Briscoe, Charles Brandt, Harry Kendell and Clara Lambert. Exhibitors should not fail to give their patrons an early opportunity to see this picture. - The Moving Picture World, May 3, 1913
