The story of the struggle between two clans

[deickemeyer · 28 December 2017]

This interesting offering opens with a picture of modern Tahitians and with one old man telling a story of long ago when the chief, now a grown man and seated in modern clothes nearby, was a baby. The story of the struggle between two clans for possession of this royal infant is then pictured and makes a clear, interesting narrative. The scenes have been well photographed and give such glimpses of life on the island as other Melies pictures have furnished. Mildred Bracken plays the island queen, and two American players take roles as beach-combing sailors who are with the attacking party. When these whites go on a spree their side is defeated. - The Moving Picture World, November 8, 1913

It is a very likable release

A good story well "put over" makes this picture by the regular Western company a pleasing release. There is humor in it, and a few laughs in such pictures make them go well everywhere. The ending scenes in this picture, those in which the bad man who had just caught the sheriff and the express agent holding up the stage and had taken his shield together with the "swag" is brought into the sheriff's office under arrest by the "kid" and shows him up with proofs, reflects on the writer of the script and the producer. It is a very likable release, well played and clearly produced in every way. - The Moving Picture World, November 8, 1913
