A departure from the usual thing in Indian pictures

[deickemeyer · 20 November 2015]

An Indian picture, affording opportunity for the development of the elemental passions of revenge, cruelty, rage and jealousy. The story is well told. The use of the poisoned arrow, with the administering of the antidote, is well worked out, even to the last scene, where the Indian maiden uses the arrow upon herself. This is a type of Indian picture different from the wild-west type, which is apparently the most popular thing in many localities throughout the country. There is much of pathos here and the dramatic impulses which are associated with unrequited love. It is better than the average and deserves commendation for its departure from the usual thing in Indian pictures. - The Moving Picture World, February 25, 1911
