Dumas' familiar story, graphically presented in motion pictures. The producer has followed the narrative as closely as the exigencies of the case permit. It is a long story and requires great condensation to get it on the films at all. But here are the principal scenes: Dantes' arrival, his meeting with Mercedes, Fernando's plot and the arrest of Dantes at his betrothal. The Château d'lf, the Abbe Faria, Dantes' escape, and the other familiar scenes. They are all produced with fidelity to the original and with appreciation of the requirements of the narration. The producer has done his work well and has given the public an interesting picture of one of the most popular stories in the world. - The Moving Picture World, January 28, 1911
