Pictures come and go so fast that it is rather rash to say of any of them that it shows more effective handling than any other of its kind; such a statement would pass merely as a form of compliment. This picture is by Bannister Merwin and is a tense, well made melodrama, as speedy in its ending almost as the waterfall that hangs from the face of the crag. Mark MacDermott plays the villainous clerk of the embassy and it seems strange to us that the ambassador (Robert Brower), didn't see through him in the first act. We wouldn't trust a man who acted or looked like that. Miriam Nesbitt plays the ambassador's daughter and George Lessy is the earnest hero while Charles Ogle and Mary Fuller play the not very important conspirators with whom Mark is in league. A very good offering. - The Moving Picture World, February 1, 1913
