All the original beauty of the play has been retained

The famous French society drama, "The Ironmaster," transferred to the screen with no loss of its original strength. The Edison players have interpreted the various scenes quite as effectively as they have ever been interpreted upon the stage. All the original beauty of the play has been retained, while the silent drama affords opportunity for certain delicate touches in working out details impossible when upon the stage. The character of the young woman is admirably developed and the Ironmaster is a man of whom almost anyone might be proud. The staging and costuming have been supervised with care and are accurate even to the details and the work of the actors is performed with discretion. Altogether it forms an excellent picture which will be thoroughly enjoyed by almost any audience before whom it is presented. - The Moving Picture World, March 11, 1911
