The Convict's Sister (1911) User Reviews

A large cast and every one of these plays as naturally and unconstrainedly as can be

[deickemeyer · 14 November 2016]

A very able picture. Its most noticeable quality, a very well maintained feeling of suspense and mystery, is due largely to the acting of the leading lady. There, however, is a large cast and every one of these plays as naturally and unconstrainedly as can be. This makes the picture, notwithstanding the tense melodramatic situation, remarkably convincing. The stage sets, lighting and camera work are all of high quality and add much to its effectiveness. These sets make beautiful scenes. There is a very well planned effect brought about by the mirrors in one of the set rooms. No review of this picture would be complete without reporting the grace and great beauty of its leading lady. - The Moving Picture World, May 25, 1912
