Every Thief Leaves a Clue (1913) User Reviews

A story of detective work, which is clearly indicated

[deickemeyer · 8 October 2017]

This picture is well done. It is a story of detective work, which is clearly indicated. There is one defect, however, which mars. The man assigned to find a burglar gets his first clue from his wife, who by a remarkable coincidence enters a laundry just in time to see a man bring in a torn garment, the rent of which corresponds to a piece of cloth which her husband later shows her. The information brought to the detective by his wife leads straight to the culprit. Armed with this basic clue, the securing of the cumulative evidence is done in logical fashion. - The Moving Picture World, August 2, 1913
