Scarcely up to the mark

by deickemeyer • 2020-01-21

"This two-reel drama, although quite entertaining, is scarcely up to the mark which James Oliver Curwood generally sets for himself. It tells a pleasantly conventional love story, and has been produced in Ralph Ince's usual thoroughly artistic manner. Earle Williams and Anita Stewart have no difficulty in realizing their respective roles. William Dangman and Dorothy Leeds also deserve honorable mention. - The Moving Picture World, June 5, 1915..."
