We are at a loss just how to recommend these dances, taken in Java and by native professional dancers. It is fairly clear in photography and will be highly educational to many. Yet many of the dances are hard to interpret, and the early parts of the exhibition seem a bit tiresome. Closing the film, we have the "Dance of the Horses," which, with "The Monkey Dance," is most amusing to civilized eyes. The last dance is grotesque and made the audience howl with laughter. There was emphatic applause. - The Moving Picture World, August 9, 1913
