Founded in 1908 as a counterweight to the dominant Moving Picture World, the News was the voice for the independent, non-Trust, producers. Later Motion Picture News expanded its coverage to the entire industry, supporting the independent exhibitor with objective film reviews, summaries of programs at theatres across the nation, activities of regional exchanges in the cities with regional exchanges, and excellent coverage of the coming of sound and screenings and stage shots at the major New York City theatres. -- David Pierce, 2013

The plot is splendidly developed. The direction is superfine. It carries all the dramatic force of the spoken drama, so that the spectator does not miss the words. Stanlaws establishes himself as one of the truly fine directors of the day.” All of which, together with the comments of the other critics, backs up what we have already said — IPs The Greatest Straight Dramatic Picture Ever Made!
