A realistically conducted search over the roofs

The situation of this remarkably strong photoplay is human and very intense. The actress finds a thief under her bed. She manages to get outside and lock the door. The police who come at her call follow the fleeing man through a realistically conducted search over the roofs, actually pictured high above the city. The burglar is not found. He has dodged back and just below the actress's window is hanging by a slowly loosening gutter. He calls frantically. The actress hears him after the police have gone and by means of her curtain helps him to climb back. He gives up the gems he has taken and she lets him depart. It is very truly a picture of a fright and is a picture well worthwhile. - The Moving Picture World, September 30, 1911
