The Three Scratch Clue

In this two-part special a gentleman crook (they seldom are interesting) nearly breaks up a love affair; for the girl finds him attractive. The story is essentially unconvincing. We are not induced to believe that this crook could, in just this easy manner, worm his way into the friendship of the old book collector and his daughter. It is not diamonds that the crook is after but a $50,000 book which one wonders at and this doesn't add to the story's seeming truth. There is some good photography and very fair acting in the offering. - The Moving Picture World, April 11, 1914
