A. Anderson, from “THE DAILY TELEGRAPH.”
‘It is conceded. by almost all: who attended the private. view that this is one of the very best films yet made by any British producing concern.. Perhaps, however, the most significant testimony is that of the author of the story himself. Mr. Stacpoole is loud in his praise for the good taste with which a delicate subject has been treated. He declares that he found himself strangely moved by the pathetic appeal of many of the situations pictured onthe screen.’
“THE DAILY MAIL.”
“. . . it was found that the charm,.the beauty, the simple naturalness of the original story had been preserved. The spirit of the book has been realised, and the acting has caught the spirit also.’’
