Hampered by the continually broken story
deickemeyer28 April 2018
Most entertaining is the adventure pictured in this number, especially on account of its strangeness. We cannot deny that this series is making a hit even hampered as it is by the continually broken story; its East Indian scenes give it a better chance than a more ordinary offering could have. Take, for instance, those pyres along the River Ganges with their real human corpses being burned, how they add to the mimic scene later when the heroine is compelled to be "suttee." And after she has escaped, not convincingly, the atmosphere of that ruined temple where the lion prowls about among the broken pillars and the defaced effigies of old gods, adds much to interest in it all. The personality of Kathlyn Williams fits this story perfectly. The photography is commendable. The spectators watched this installment very closely. - The Moving Picture World, February 7, 1914
