    Superior to the common ordinary Wild and Woolly
    Fifteen hundred feet of Western stuff, and every foot is good. If it is different from, and superior to, the common ordinary Wild and Woolly, it is because there is a real plot. In addition to this and fortifying this there is in the interpretation and execution of the plot real class. In spite of the fact that tragedy is the predominating note of the reel and a half, there were several points where an adult Fourteenth Street audience found occasion for hearty laughter. The scenery made a fitting setting for the drama. There is the frontier town with its single street; and there are mountains and valleys the view of which lift the confined city dweller out of his brick and concrete environment. - The Moving Picture World, June 22, 1912
