The Gypsy

Miss Lawrence gives an intimate picture of the girl&apos;s untamed but womanly heart

Florence Lawrence has created a new individuality in her representation of this gypsy girl. There are some pretty scenes in this film and they are well photographed, but the picture&apos;s great interest centers in the gypsy. She belongs to a truculent Romany band characterized as &quot;dangerous,&quot; which has camped on a grassy hillside, the property of a young clubman. The gypsies won&apos;t leave, so this man himself comes up from the city and meets the girl. His marriage to her and her reception by the man&apos;s mother and sister make a story that is very well acted and acceptable; but one that would surely lack importance without some such intimate picture as Miss Lawrence gives of the girl&apos;s untamed but womanly heart. This gypsy girl is not so delightful as a former character of this player, the hoyden, because it is not so close to us; but it roots deeper; there&apos;s more to it, and it required more of the artist. It is therefore a more praiseworthy piece of work. The picture gives no typical story of real life; it is not even a probable one. - The Moving Picture World, August 19, 1911
