In story interest and in the methods used in the screen narration "The Resurrection of Gold Bar," latest two-reel of Kalem's "The Girl From 'Frisco" series, takes its place as one of the best releases of the series thus far. The two reels are crammed with story. There is considerable good riding to be seen in this picture, as well as numerous good western exteriors. Marin Sais and True Boardman have the leading roles. In this episode Barbara Brent goes with her father and her fiancé to the town in which she was born and which has since been deserted by all save an old miner, whom Brent knew twenty years ago. Barbara finds a bag of gold nuggets under the floor of a store that used to be conducted by an evil character. She "salts" the claim of the old miner. This starts a stampede to the town. Through an accidental fall Barbara's father discovers gold. It develops that the bag of nuggets found by Barbara was stolen from the old miner many years ago by the man who has since come back and tried to jump his claim. The gold boom resurrects the town. – The Moving Picture World, January 20, 1917
