This picture is exquisitely acted and characterized. It is a consistent story, and the scenes which have been taken out of doors, are well selected and arranged. The plot, like all good plots, is simple: An Eastern girl seeks solace for a wounded heart as a teacher of Indians in the West. She transforms one of the young braves into an up-to- date college chap. In due time the converted brave is desperately in love with his teacher; and thus did civilization break the heart of the Indian maid who had already lost her heart to the Indian brave. Her death quickly followed, but the converted brave did not realize the full significance of her death until he saw his adored school teacher leaving for the East with her former sweetheart, who had come to kiss and make up with her and take her back to the East. It was then that the Indian brave realized the intricacies of civilization. The part of the Old Chief is handled with great dignity by Mr. William Ranous. Altogether, the film is consistent and interesting, and the photography is all that could be expected. The picture tells a tender story, and there is no doubt that it will appeal to all classes on account of its simple pathos. - The Moving Picture World, May 20, 1911
