One of the daintiest and most pleasing pictures possible

This offering is a happy conceit, taken from the Willow Pattern ware so well known and cherished, especially in England, for its rareness and beauty by connoisseurs. It is one of the daintiest and most pleasing pictures possible. The director deserves great credit for this masterpiece. Robert Brower as the mandarin did the part in his usual dignified manner, Bessie Learn, his daughter, was artistic in every sense of the word, and the others in their support deserve full commendation. This picture should be placed by all exhibitors on their programs. Expressions of pleasure were expressed throughout the house. - The Moving Picture World, February 28, 1914
