There is plenty of life and incident
deickemeyer10 January 2016
This is a picture of California ranch life, with a romance. The story takes place in the early thirties when all that country was under Spanish rule, and is woven around the old San Fernando ranch. Perhaps the principal interest is in its reproduction of that picturesque scenery. The haven of refuge in this instance is the Church. Thither the beautiful daughter of the owner of the ranch repairs, when in the wild passion of a Mexican romance, she has saved herself by stabbing the perfidious suitor. Her confession of her deed saves her true lover. The Padre holds up the cross while the girl drops to the ground in tears. Don Jose forgives his daughter. There is plenty of life and incident, which, together with the picturesque setting, make up a picture that pleased the audience. - The Moving Picture World, April 29, 1911
