    Unusually thrilling
    The thirteenth of "The Hazards of Helen" Railway Series, is an unusually thrilling episode, and presents several dangerous ventures, such as Helen dropping an apparently dangerous height from a bridge to the top of a moving freight train. A good scuffle with a couple of robbers aboard the train is another of the attractions ot the picture. - The Moving Picture World, February 20, 1915
