A pathetic situation springing from the simplicity of these characters
deickemeyer12 November 2016
The Imp Company usually opens its pictures with a list of characters, but this remains on the screen so short a time that, in nine times out of ten, it cannot be read. The "Land of Promise" is a beautiful, fertile land to which two people, Jose and Juanita, come. They settle on land claimed by an American, like two birds that build their nest in a cranny of a porch. The owner accepts all the money that they have. The picture develops, from this, a pathetic situation springing from the simplicity of these characters and draws its reliefs and contrasts from their heroism. The acting is simple, natural and pleasing. The photographs, throughout, are lovely, beautiful scenes, well pictured. It is a distinctly pleasing release, a good picture for a feature. - The Moving Picture World, May 18, 1912
