A powerfully, affecting story of Egypt, with much that is beautiful in the way of scenery. It is also highly instructive, because the producer has been careful to make his sets and his scenes typical of the Oriental life that it portrays. The story is simple; there is nothing melodramatic in it; and it seems sincere and truthful. In its tragic ending, it is very effective even to us. Its chief characters are Arabian people of wealth. The center of interest is Fatima (played by Gene Gauntier), a first wife of an Arab merchant. She is barren and has been divorced; but in the end, her love proves stronger than that of the mother of his child who has supplanted her. The acting is natural and dignified and the photographs are fine. - The Moving Picture World, July 6, 1912
