Possessing the necessary ingredients of mystery
by deickemeyer2017-12-02

"A first class detective story, possessing the necessary ingredients of mystery, crime and a satisfactory denouement. Both the scenes in the hotel and those on board the big ocean liner possess atmosphere and the suspense is properly developed as the story progresses, Roy Watson gave a good representation of the bell boy with criminal instincts, and H.A. Livingston was pleasing as the detective, though there was a little too much posing in the latter part. Alice Gordon was pleasing as the girl. - The Moving Picture World, October 18, 1913..."
