A picture in which Mrs. Maurice takes the part of Susan B. Anthony, and she pictures her as a very dear old lady. The most devoted admirer of this pioneer in the woman's rights movement would probably feel thankful to her for the characterization. The picture was written by Will Carlton. We cannot say it was skillfully put on. The first scene was written to center the interest in a young girl of talent. The scenes that follow shift the interest to four inconsequential college youths, who are only figures, and in whom we have very little interest. Again, from the moment these four come in touch with Susan B. Anthony, she becomes the center of very wakeful interest. From that point it is a first-class production. We know who Susan B. Anthony was and how she would probably behave. Mrs. Maurice adds greatly to our interest in her as a character in a picture. From that point, too, everything else in the picture (youths, girl, and audience), adds to our interest in Susan B. Anthony and in how she is going to act in the situation. This last half is excellent. - The Moving Picture World, September 7, 1912
