This story reminds one strongly of the "Moonstone" and Stevenson has a story in his "New Arabian Nights" which has some features similar to it. The main point to be brought out is the essentially injurious influence apparently inseparably connected with the stone. This the producer did not make sufficiently clear and a few subtitles would have helped. The dramatic situations are numerous, but not altogether pleasant, though this does not hinder one admiring the strength and power of the story. Around it all is thrown some of the glamor of eastern mysticism in the peculiar poison and its antidote. The acting is admirable and the staging is quite satisfactory. - The Moving Picture World, November 12, 1910
