A picture illustrating the words of the South's famous song. It has not been made dramatic, but carries a thread of pleasing sentiment that holds the attention. It might have been done better, for it shows little real atmosphere of the South and the scenes seem bare; the whole might have been made in the studio and in a back yard or two in Chicago, with the one exception of the view of the old Mississippi steamboat at its mooring. The acting is only fair, the photography is not always clear, and the action is not at all times convincing. It was produced by H. Kirkland from the script of G. Willets. William Stowell plays "Will de weaver," and Winnifred Greenwood plays "Belle," Miss Johnston plays Will's wife, who dies when she finds that he is "a gay deceiver." Jack Nelson plays her brother, who in the end marries Belle. - The Moving Picture World, May 3, 1913
