Lusty work.
deickemeyer21 November 2019
In this production Ben Wilson is seen in a role that is in many ways well suited to his talents. The character is less passive than some in which this talented actor has appeared and gives more opportunity for lusty work. The story of the production has been written by John B. Clymer, and has been staged by Clem Easton. Dorothy Phillips playing opposite Wilson is particularly pleasing in the role of the beautiful Italian woman who loved the violinist, who for the possession of his lady love fights a duel with the insolent Navarro, the suitor favored by the young woman's father, and supposing that he has killed bim, rushes off to America. The picture is attractive principally because of the excellent cast that has been chosen to portray the various characters. The story is somewhat unusual, but shows a remarkable tendency toward always having things come out straight. Once or twice there is noticeable an inconsistent jump between scenes that have too slight a connection, but also there are moments in the production where one is inclined to pay tribute to the director. - The Moving Picture World, April 10, 1915
