Did you people see the same film I saw?

A Major Disappointment

This is a tender, generous movie that likes its characters and presents them as real people, full of flaws and strengths.

The story, direction, characters, and writing/dialogue is akin to taking a tranquilizer shot to the neck, but everything else was so well done.

A melodramatic picture with a situation that the Biograph Company has made use of a great many times, but nearly always with freshness and nearly always effectively, as in the present case. It is a situation where there is money in the house and only a girl to protect it, and the bad man attempts to force her to disclose its hiding place. As usual there are rescuers on the way, and it also includes a speedy Biograph chase. The photography is clear. - The Moving Picture World, September 6, 1913
