An offering stronger than most
deickemeyer5 January 2019
Quite out of the beaten route, this two-part offering by James Dayton and put on by Joseph De Grasse is especially well acted. The story, after stating a situation which normal human emotions make deeply interesting, takes the heroine's desire for vengeance as its theme and shows what comes of it, to the happy ending. The theme is made plausible, yet the general spectator has much less personal interest in it. To make up for this lesser humanity (a thing that only a Shakespeare can do in some Hamlet) it is made sensational and startling. The most convincing acting is done by Agnes Vernon as the very pretty sister of the clearly drawn story's hero (Rupert Julian). The vengeful Andrea is played well by Elsie Jean Wilson. On the whole an offering stronger than most and one that will probably be quite acceptable to patrons. - The Moving Picture World, August 29, 1914
