The Necklace of Rameses (1914) User Reviews

Plunges at once into an absorbing story

[deickemeyer · 28 April 2018]

This three reel number plunges at once into an absorbing story. The first scene is in Egypt, 2,000 B.C. depicting the death of Princess Ameena. The next scene shows her as a mummy, still wearing the sacred necklace, in the Metropolitan Art Museum, New York. The necklace is stolen and the rest of the story has to do with an interesting chase through England, France and Italy to recover it. The plot itself could have been told in two reels, but the splendid views in Paris, Venice, Rome and other cities make the longer production desirable. Marc MacDermott, Miriam Nesbitt and Rex Hitchcock are in the cast. A fine scenic number. - The Moving Picture World, February 7, 1914
