An Arcadian Maid

Fate sometimes overtakes those who betray trusting innocence and does it so forcibly that there can be no question of the result. Here is a villain who induces a trusting girl to commit a robbery. But his ill- gotten gains do him no good. In a brawl on the train he either falls or it thrown out, and later falls dead at the feet of the girl he has deceived. Just how he got to where the girl was in the woods is not quite clear, but perhaps for dramatic purposes it is not altogether necessary. She, realizing the probable results of taking her employer's money, secures it from the body and returns it before the loss is discovered. In so much the audience can rejoice. If the object of the film is to show how easily innocence may be entrapped into wrong doing the success is marked. If it was the intention to show that punishment is almost certain to follow such villainy it is equally successful. Dramatically the film is good, and photographically it is up to the Biograph standard. - The Moving Picture World, August 13, 1910
