A war picture suitable for the Memorial Day season acted with all the vigor and dash of the Vitagraph Company. Like all the pictures of the war time this has numerous thrilling scenes, in some of which there is great dramatic power. There is something in these pictures in which the war scenes are enacted before one that has a strong appeal and it is difficult to criticise. Sometimes there doesn't appear to be anything to criticise. The actors seem to enter into the spirit of the scenes so sympathetically that criticism seems to be harsh and unnecessary. The change from an old couple walking down the street to the young couple of forty years ago is excellently managed, and the change back, after the war scenes are over, is quite as good. The appearance of the veterans, the speech, and finally the fraternal handclasp of the Union and Confederate soldiers are all strong features and add interest to the picture. - The Moving Picture World, June 5, 1909
