There are good situations in these two reels, and they are finely handled. There is a multiplicity of characters (sixteen are indicated in the published cast); this, of course, does not, as a general rule, make for interest. The closing scenes are strongly dramatic and with a touch of pathos, too. Many of Edison's star players are included in the cast. - The Moving Picture World, November 8, 1913
