Two officers of a cavalry regiment love the same girl. The officer who is most in love with her and most in despair proposes to the other officer that they cut a pack of cards to see who shall withdraw. Such an incident is not very likely to effect the average spectator powerfully. We may sympathize with a man who gambles away his money, but we are not so likely to feel for a man who will gamble away his chance of winning a girl. The most popular romantic heroes fight their battle in the way the vast majority of American spectators approve of. However, this incident was utilized to lead up to a very charming picture in which the girl, having found her own preference, is making love prettily to a man who in honor can't respond to it, though his heart is nearly breaking. This scene is worthwhile most certainly. The picture is well acted and acceptable. - The Moving Picture World, September 2, 1911
