Once again the Biograph Company has found inspiration in Moody's "The Great Divide," and one feels that the result is not so fortunate as in "The White Rose of the Wilds." The great fault is that the real primal man is not truthfully pictured. He exists, but he is neither soft nor tough. If the ill-bred million-heir had been contrasted with a Walt Whitman, the picture would truly have got somewhere, but this primal man sneers at the rich girl's party. The scenes showing the courtship of the ill-bred man of wealth surely makes a sharp contrast with the beach scenes and the mate's courtship. With the exception of one or two scenes, the acting of the picture is commendable. There are some fine sea pictures in it. - The Moving Picture World, July 8, 1911
