Few Edisons have been weaker than this country village story of love and heroics. The time is before the war and Poe's famous poem is dragged in (it certainly has nothing to do with the story) perhaps to make it seem poetical. Augustus Phillips, the hero, can do much more natural work than this; such melodramatic playing is not pleasing to the people any more. There is no illusion of danger in the burning church and no sincerity in the love making. George Lessey produced it. - The Moving Picture World, August 9, 1913
