It is asking a good deal of a producer to require him to visit a new country, so different from ours as China, and put out in the new backgrounds a melodrama that will be convincing and human. This offering has plenty of novelty, but, as a story, it isn't effective. Betty (Clara Kimball Young), asked to marry the son of her mother's old friend (William V. Ranous) goes out into the Chinese city, where her mother is living, to help her missionary friend. Her brother (James Young) to cure her, makes up, very well indeed, as a Chink and scares her. She does not recognize him, is frightened, is rescued by the young man (Maurice Costello) whom her mother wants her to marry and we have a happy ending. The photography is clear. The author is Eugene Mullin and the producer Maurice Costello. - The Moving Picture World, August 2, 1913
