The hero's adventures in the Alps were more or less comic, according to one's conception of comedy. Not much of the intellectual entered his herculean efforts to climb up the snowiest places he could find, and physical humor leaves no sting behind it. Certainly the latter type has its advantages. Max, sent to get an edelweiss blossom to prove his devotion, climbed through drifts, dropped into holes, slid down precipitous slopes and otherwise disported himself in a manner that is calculated to drown the sorrow of the spectator. He ended by buying a blossom from a more successful explorer, a course which was eminently more sensible than the one he was attempting. His contortions in climbing the Alps cannot he classed exactly as acting, still they serve the purpose of the film. - The New York Dramatic Mirror, Nov. 2, 1910
