Oliver Twist

The Vitagraph people have sent out a film under the above title which is deservedly popular. Nancy Sykes is played by Elita Proctor Otis, and that, together with other parts, form a whole which leaves nothing to be desired so far as the acting and the interpretation of dramatic possibilities is concerned. A long description is scarcely necessary. Everyone knows the story of Oliver Twist, and has sympathized with him in his difficulties. They will do so more than ever after seeing this picture. The acting is unusually good, and, with the exception of a few points, the photographic quality is quite satisfactory. The picture is sure to please critical audiences everywhere and is a sufficiently noticeable achievement to mark the company among the leaders in the business. - The Moving Picture World, June 5, 1909
