The good work of the Imp players in their former scene from "Hiawatha" has been improved upon in this film, not only dramatically, but scenically and photographically. Sometimes not all the apparent errors are due to the producers. A careless operator, poor projection or a dozen other influences may combine to injure the appearance of a film on the screen, even after the producer has done his best. The dramatic possibilities of all of "Hiawatha" are great, and perhaps with the exception of "The Famine," this one is the strongest in the poem. The players have performed their parts well. There may be touches here and there which could be strengthened, but as a whole a reasonably satisfactory production has been given. The suggestion is offered that further scenes from this same story be dramatized, making them into a connected series which will place the poem in graphic form and will make it useful for educational as well as for entertainment purposes. - The Moving Picture World, March 12, 1910
