A picture that aims at pathos by showing as a faithful, kindly, old darkey servant, who sacrifices himself for his young master. It is not a powerfully convincing picture for the situation seems rather carelessly (easily) developed, and fails to come to grips with real life more than once or twice. Mr. Paul L. Feltus, the author, had a good idea which apparently he hastened to hammer into a salable scenario rather than fuse into a work of art. Its producer, Lem. B. Parker, having probably to get out a picture to still the clamor of spectators who want the curtain to go up, put it out just as is was. Consequently the offering has commercial value, that is all. Frank Tobin plays the young master; Kathlyn Williams, his wife; Joseph Hazleton is the darkey (a conventional characterization); Frances Mason is a gypsy; Mac Barnes, Pat Carson, and James Long are men of her band. The young master's fast friends are W. Stowell, W. Fontinelle, E. Murray and R. S. McKee. The photography is only so- so. - The Moving Picture World, September 21, 1912
