It drags in the latter part of the second reel
deickemeyer19 August 2017
This three-reel number gets a very favorable start. The fierce fighting in woods and open fields in the first and third reels is very good. The plot, which concerns a brother and sister acting as Union spies within the Confederate lines, is also pleasing at the beginning, but it drags in the latter part of the second reel, where the scenes are drawn out and unconvincing. The substitution of the false dispatch was cleverly accomplished, but the latter part of the production lacks a central element of suspense. The scene on the battlefield, where the girl sees the spirits of her lover and brother, is too theatrical. The photography is good. - The Moving Picture World, March 29, 1913
