Slow, even wearisome
deickemeyer3 June 2016
This reviewer finds this picture slow, even wearisome. It deals with characters that are not truly human and, despite the players who take these parts, are not pleasing, do not wake human sympathy in the spectators. The chief characters are an English lord (conventionally foolish and cowardly), a girl, daughter of a magnate, to whom he is engaged, a clownish girl who belongs on a ranch and a not very prepossessing cowboy. (The player who takes this cowboy part has done some very pleasing heavy villain work in other pictures.) The lord, the magnate and his daughter come to the ranch. Love at first sight follows when the cowboy and the girl meet. The cowboy has his friends dress up as Indians who scare the lord and the magnate and then the cowboy rescues the girl, brings her back to the ranch in his arms. The magnate then accepts him as prospective son-in-law, while the clownish maid makes love to the lord. - The Moving Picture World, December 16, 1911
