A picture reported to be historically true and to have been related by Cardinal Gibbons. It is an adventure of a priest, Father Beauclaire, played by Hal Reid, and set in some southern land, perhaps France. He is sentenced to death for a murder and keeps silent, although the culprit had confessed to him. By his superiors in the church he is, the leader says, excommunicated, and dies rather than reveal the secret of the confessional. Later, retribution comes to the scoundrel. The workmanship shown by this picture throughout is of high grade and is very impressive. The photography is very good. - The Moving Picture World, June 1, 1912
