The villain of this story acts so foolishly that he loses the resjiect of the spectator, a fatal defect in a character on whose power for ill the whole interest of the tale depends. The picture makes a rather dry three reels and is surely far below the standard set by the Great Northern studio. The story deals with a court intrigue and is furnished with a few stately scenes, some fine uniforms, a pretty heroine, interesting backgrounds for many of its scenes and the trite machinery of hidden doors, unsuspected holes in the floor and other fittings of the kind so often seen of late in the castles of rich villains. - The Moving Picture World, April 4, 1914
