The director is not where he belongs

Keep things moving is the watchword in "Leap to Fame," a five-part World picture written by Raymond Schreck and directed by Carlyle Blackwell. The story is rather indefinite, but Carlyle Blackwell, who plays the leading part, keeps all the characters on the jump, including himself, and persons who have neither the time nor the inclination to analyze plots and motives will find entertainment in the photoplay. The experiment of permitting the principal actor in a picture to direct the production is a doubtful one, however. Certain points are bound to be overlooked when the director is not where he belongs, in a position to see just what is being done in every scene. - The Moving Picture World, May 4, 1918
