An interesting, but rather boldly conceived story of some brash tourists who steal the scimitar of Mohammed from a mosque in Egypt and escape to New York. The vengeance of Allah follows. The staging of this offering is remarkably fine; we don't know that the picture wasn't produced partly in Egypt. Where those scenes came from we don't know. It was brash to undertake this story; we have seen more failures than successes with stories like this. But it surely held the audience, though at the climax, stronger acting would have made it better. The photography is good. Earle Foxe with Alice Hollister plays the lead, well supported by Robert Vignola, as the Mohammedan priest. - The Moving Picture World, April 26, 1913
