    There is more excitement and vim in this picture than in the former

    This picture, telling a Western story, has some sensibly posed scenes. It was only a week or so ago that the Imp Company released a picture, "At the Hour of Three," using the same idea. The rancher's ex-convict, but honest employee, forges his employer's name to save his fortune on deposit at a bank on which there is a run. He gets the money and delivers it at the former's office, then goes away. The last scene is a sunset by the ocean, a bit more convincing ending to the story. There is more excitement and vim in this picture than in the former. It will be a fair filler despite the fact, noticed above, that its theme is still fresh in moving pictures. - The Moving Picture World, February 3, 1912
