[deickemeyer · 23 January 2016]

This impressive film tells how a designing woman succeeded in separating two lovers , in separating two life-long friends, in causing a death in a duel, and in ruining another man's life, to gratify her own capricious whims. There are strongly dramatic scenes, each making the story more clear. The two friends meet at the girl's deathbed, and here the acting grows very strong in its intensity. The two fight a duel; one is shot and, dying, thrusts the woman's letter into the victor's hand, making clear to him the situation. It is very dramatic. The quality of the picture is strength. It is an eminently successful film. - The Moving Picture World, May 20, 1911
