An attempt to put into pictorial form Sir Edwin Burne-Jones' picture and Rudyard Kipling's poem. Perhaps the attempt is successful in that it will be understood by those familiar with the picture and the poem. But what about those who are unfamiliar with them? Several near the writer were heard to ask what it all meant, and the probability is strong that many others are in much the same position. It is artistic, it is beautiful in the literary quality it possesses, but it is scarcely plain enough to be understood by the average person in an audience. In other words, the producer failed to convey the sentiment of the poem, however well it was staged and acted. - The Moving Picture World, November 26, 1910
