Extremely carefully staged

A new series which is to follow a serial story running in the Century Magazine. It is extremely carefully staged and well-acted picture and very sure to attract attention. One of the best serial stories, judging by this first installment, that has been offered. It will make a hit in places where patrons want action and art in their pictures. - The Moving Picture World, August 15, 1914
