The audience almost rise to its feet

Here is a film that makes the audience almost rise to its feet. It is a story of love and jealousy. The light has been tampered with and the little fishing smack bearing the hero and his wife is endeavoring to make a landing. The interest centers in the reproduction of the storm, which forms a thrilling spectacle, with the wild waves threatening to overwhelm the smack. The struggle at the foot of the stairs where the old light keeper overcomes the disappointed rival and the latter's fall down the long flight of stairs into the water are scenes which hold the interest of the audience. Then the light flashes out and the boat comes safely home, quite as much to the joy of the audience as the friends waiting on the shore. - The Moving Picture World, June 3, 1911
