The atmosphere of India is well suggested
by deickemeyer2019-09-21

"A two-reel melodramatic story of the Sepoy mutiny, written by Grace Cunard. She and Francis Ford play the leading parts. The atmosphere of India is well suggested and some of the settings are wonderfully good, also the costuming. The plot itself contains a succession of improbable innidents and much of the action must not be inquired into too closely. It makes a good piece of spectacular melodrama and the action, though incongruous at times, is spirited and holds the attention. - The Moving Picture World, February 27, 1915..."
