A good reproduction of the capture of San Juan Hill

[deickemeyer · 15 September 2017]

A two-part story of the Spanish-American War. The Cuban atmosphere is nicely suggested and there is plenty of action. The adventures of two young Americans, picked up from floating wreckage, hold the interest till the last half of the second reel, when a good reproduction of the capture of San Juan Hill is given. The American battleship shown in one scene was of too modern a type to fit the picture. The views of the rugged coast were picturesque, and as a whole, the number succeeds very well. - The Moving Picture World, June 14, 1913
