    Welcome to Our Hearts Again, Iolanthe

    This elaborate and well-staged silent version of Hertz' play is exceedingly well produced for 1913: it starts off by introducing the actors by name and role, then showing them in double exposure in street clothes and in costumes. The production values are also elaborate and the look of the set designs reminds one of the elaborate backdrops that Melies used in his shots.

    However, it also shows the problems that afflicted Thanhouser: the shots are long, static, and all too often, tightly, almost claustrophobically blocked. The acting is stage acting, and even though care is taken with crowd compositions, the effect is occasionally jarring.

    Still, the elaborate sets and costumes, as well as the fun of the story moves things right along. Very worthwhile for anyone interested in the evolution of the American movie in this critical period.

    A whimsical story, full of beauty and charm

    A three-reel number, introducing Maude Fealey to the moving picture audiences of the country. She won an international beauty contest a number of years ago, and her grace and girlish beauty, reinforced by years of training on the legitimate stage, make a strong appeal in the films. The entire Thanhouser Company enter into the spirit of this story of the beautiful blind princess, who must not be informed of her blindness until she is sixteen. Then the count discovers her and breaks the spell and she recovers her sight. A whimsical story, full of beauty and charm. The close could have been handled with more strength, but it is a very good production as it stands. - The Moving Picture World, July 12, 1913
