In this film the Vitagraph people have reproduced for the benefit of the public the complicated process of making a film, from the time the contract is signed until the finished positive is ready to be run through the projecting apparatus. It is intensely interesting and gives some hint of the immense array of properties and the numerous actors' requisites which must be kept by every film producing house. It also illustrates forcibly and clearly the trials of those who direct the rehearsals, particularly in the crowded streets. The only thing about it which mars the film at all is some horse-play on the part of a few minor people. This might be advantageously eliminated. The photography is excellent, and the action is all that could be desired. Altogether it is an excellent film. – The Moving Picture World, January 2, 1909
