Voice of the Violin (1909)

*** 1/2 (out of 4)

A music teacher is in love with one of his students but she has to reject him because her father wouldn't allow her to marry a poor man. Brokenhearted, the man joins a terrorist like group who bombs the homes of rich people. The man is sent out on his first mission and learns the house belongs to the girl and her father. The plot is certainly far fetched, as is in the insane happy ending but there's a lot of terrific suspense here as the time for the bomb to go off gets closer and closer. Once again the terrific editing is the high point.
