A tale of flirtation, combined with a burglary, in which there is gun play, and a girl who confesses that she flirted merely to tease and will not do it again. These are the elements utilized by the Vitagraph actors in constructing a rattling good play. It is one of those films which appeals to a larger proportion of a motion picture audience and satisfies them, as can be seen by the expression on their faces and their applause in some theaters. The action is there, and action is what motion picture audiences want. Nor is the drama entirely devoid of art; but however that may be, the average audience is much better pleased with melodrama than it is with drama, particularly where art is the feature rather than the action of the characters. The Vitagraph actors understand this disposition of the people and build their pictures accordingly. - The Moving Picture World, October 16, 1909
