The weakness of the story is in the final scenes
by deickemeyer • 2017-11-13

"The fore part of this film is beautifully staged and the story opens with great promise. William Garwood, the court fool, is given a day in which he is to be treated as a real man by the king and his followers. He falls in love with the beautiful young princess and remains by her side when she is stricken by a plague and all others leave her. The weakness of the story is in the final scenes, which lacked feeling and conviction. The artistic staging is its strongest point. - The Moving Picture World, September 20, 1913..."
