  • A picture in two parts of both East and West that leaves a deep impression. Its hero is an innocent man accused of crime who, escaping to the West, lives in a lonely cabin. He finds and brings to his home a girl, the sole survivor of an Indian massacre, whose memory has been clouded by the experience. She doesn't know who she is, but lives with the refugee as his sister until a circuit preacher suggests that be ought to marry her, which is done at once. The method of clearing the man of the charge of the crime by the Indian, of the true culprit dead with the evidence on him (we are aware that the rescued girl was the villain's wife, but she doesn't know it yet); the bringing of the hero and his wife home and the recovery of her memory, make an absorbing story. The woman at first thinks she is an unintentional bigamist, and her finding the truth makes the pleasant ending. There is some weakness in the acting of this scene, but, as a whole, the picture is held up very well. The last act made tremendous demands on the genius of the player who took the woman's role. - The Moving Picture World, November 1, 1913
