Mexico City Says :
The following is from a criticism of the production “To Have and to Hold” appearing in "El Universal,” of Mexico City, December 29, 1922 :
“The interpretation very good. Betty Compson, Bert Lytell and Ferguson carried the honors of the interpretation. The sets, especially that of the duel and the marriage ceremony, were wonderful. Photography faultless; continuity correct and the wording of titles very ably done.”
