We suspect that the author of this unusual picture is an Englishman; his hero is a duke. The climax comes in a dream scene in which the duke, who is fast, needs money and has just forged his mother's name, thinks he sees his ancestors come down from pictures on the wall and remonstrate with him as an unworthy scion of his house. Three paintings free themselves from frames to show to him the glory of his heroic forebears and to make him disgusted with himself. That they succeed makes the offering pleasant, and in a measure encouraging. It's a good, fresh offering and will be liked as something different. Mark MacDermott plays the duke: Wadsworth Harris, his dying father; Mrs. Wallace Erskine, his mother; Harry Eyting, a money lender (a good sketch). Walter Edwin plays his warrior ancestor; Herbert Prior, his sea-fighting ancestor, and Augustus Phillips, his statesman ancestor. The author is Chas. J. Brabin. - The Moving Picture World, January 18, 1913
