A patriotic picture in very truth. It's a pleasure to commend it, not only because it's a better offering than most, but because it has a sincerer kind of patriotism than usual with so-called patriotic pictures. We have seen no other picture that was like it, and if the audience doesn't applaud at the end, it will be because it is a very cold kind of audience. The story is simple, but it contrasts the quality of justice in a republic with that in a kingdom and ends with a couple of scenes shewing the alien convinced of the value of this country's ideals, raising the flag and repeating the oath of allegiance such as is taught in schools. This is flashed on the screen. It makes a bully kind of end. The alien is played by R. Vignola, his wife by Alice Hollister, their children, by Doris and George Hollister. James Rose plays the friend. - The Moving Picture World, May 24, 1913
