Lack of liveliness in the characters
deickemeyer5 May 2018
A two-part story of Japanese and Americans and set perhaps on the coast of California. The characters, especially the Japs, are well set forth. Tokiwa, the unfortunate daughter of a brutal fisherman, is played by Margaret Gibson; her father by Otto Lederer, and the lover to whom the father sells her, by George Kunkel. In these characters there is a good deal that is distinctly foreign and it passes for Japanese. Bertie Fitcarin and William Taylor play the Americans, The story is fresh and clearly pictured, but few will count it a powerful one, although there are two distinctly sensational incidents. The lack of power comes not from improbability so much as from lack of liveliness in the characters. The photography serves. It was written by W.E. Wing and produced by U. Davis. - The Moving Picture World, February 14, 1914
