Reproduces the play faithfully

A reproduction of this famous old play by Henry E. Dixey and a capable company. The action is rapid, but is accurate, as it would naturally be in the hands of a company of trained actors such as Dixey would gather about him. The photography is good; only in a few instances does it become dim and difficult to understand, but this is due to the rapid movement of the actors too near the camera. The play is too well known to require a repetition of its plot, and in this instance the entire reproduction is satisfactory and the audience is invariably pleased with the pictures. Those who have never seen the play will enjoy the film because of its excellent qualities, while those who have seen it will enjoy it because it reproduces the play so faithfully. -- The Moving Picture World, November 8, 1908
