A picture of the famous play written by Schiller in extreme youth; there is no need to comment on its scenario at this time, except that it is no better than that of the day's average offering. The adapter has done his work commendably, except matters might have been one or two more subfiles. The costumes are accurate and the staging, though rather Italian than German, is sumptuous. The chief value of it, as an offering, comes from the fact that it is a picture of a classical play, seldom or never seen now, but often talked of and lectured on. The Edison Company has done a service in making this particular film and the exhibitor should profit by showing it. The direction was by Walter Edwin. The acting is of fair quality. - The Moving Picture World, August 16, 1913
