Nine-Tenths of the Law

This six-reel number presents one of the most human and altogether touching stories that have come out of that paradise of the story teller, the Northwoods. It is so big and simple in its conception and so direct in its development that it will have almost universal appeal. Child interest, intense mother love, and stirring personal encounters between rugged men of the woods are features of the tale, which is pictured in a wild region in perfect keeping with the story. Reaves Eason wrote and produced this remarkably entertaining subject, and also plays the part of "Red" Adair, the villain of the piece. Mitchell Lewis plays the honest-hearted trapper, Leneau, with Jimsey Maye appearing as the wife. But good as the work of the adult actors of the cast is, the honors of the production go to Little Roughneck, played by a child called "Breezy" Reeves. This little fellow is scarcely more than a baby, but he rises to the occasion in every scene, and this is a story which centers largely about him. This is a feature that will make its way wherever shown. - The Moving Picture World, May 4, 1918
