Morbid spectators will enjoy it
by deickemeyer2018-06-18

"This two-reel subject is worthy of the name "Tragedy" rather than a drama. It has sensational scenes all through it, in fact the author and director must have combined to see how many so called "punches" they could introduce without wrecking the camera. The disposal of the villain in the finale was certainly original, but the method was not only absurd but absolutely disgusting. The cast was large and capable and the backgrounds elegant, as was the lighting and photography. Morbid spectators will enjoy it, no doubt. - The Moving Picture World, March 28, 1914..."
