A Japanese story of love and passion that makes a commendable offering on account of the care with which it was produced and the skill of the players. There is enough real Japanese atmosphere in the sets to keep up the illusion and this is heightened by the typical Japanese ceremonies, tea drinking, formal calling, at weddings and the like, with all of which the average spectator has become familiar from tropical pictures of Japan. The tragic story convinces us of both its love in the early stages and its sorrow when the young nobleman who has married O San, a girl beneath him, deserts her for a girl of his own station. His father commands and he fears disinheritance. At the wedding, O San, who has slipped in with the entertainers, stabs him. There is a good deal of grace and beauty in the picture. Richard V. Spenser is the author. - The Moving Picture World, February 28, 1914
