This love story of the Sahara was taken in Florida and makes a very fair offering, chiefly because the Lubin company was able to find backgrounds that give a suggestion of reality to its desert scenes, where the Arab tents are pitched, and also to the Moorish town, the palace of the Calif, where the Bedouin hero finds and rescues the lovely heroine sold into slavery by her jealous sister. There is an incantation scene in it that furnishes its one real touch of imagination, the one place where the picture rises above others of its kind. This is fresh and very effective. The photography is clear, but the acting isn't so truly sympathetic as are the backgrounds and scenes. It was produced by G.O. Nicholls from a script of E.W. Sargent. Ormi Hawley and Edwin Carewe play the leads. Mrs. Nicholls does very well as the "weird woman" in the incantation scene. - The Moving Picture World, April 12, 1913
