It may appear funny under some circumstances to hold up a stage coach. In the picture here shown it would not have been so funny for Ranson if the real robber's daughter had not been in love with him. The love story is the saving episode in this tragedy and supplies the necessary dramatic interest. The picture is excellent in its reproduction of frontier life, illustrating numerous features which are interesting from the scenic standpoint, apart from supplying a background for a story. The acting is admirable, and the clear tones of the photography help materially in making the picture attractive. Altogether it is a thrilling picture, representing certain phases of plains life not fully understood in many localities. - The Moving Picture World, March 12, 1910
