A satisfactory picture of Indian life
deickemeyer31 January 2015
Warning: Spoilers
An Indian love story which is based upon the jealousy of one Indian for a rival. There is some good presentation of Indian trailing, one or two shootings, a life and death struggle in which one Indian is killed by a knife thrust, the capture of an Indian and his torture, ending with fastening him to a stake to be drowned by the rising tide. The maiden releases him and they go away together in a canoe, disappearing in the distance, leaving the audience to imagine all sorts of beautiful things concerning them. So far as may be judged by those not counted expert this picture is a reasonably accurate and satisfactory picture of Indian life, representing what could occur, though perhaps no one can say it did occur. However, there is much of interest, and the various picturesque contests are watched with more than ordinary interest. - The Moving Picture World, December 31, 1909
