The Impalement

A remarkably dramatic film, ending so sensationally that it almost brings one to his feet. It displays to what extent the infatuation of a man for a woman not his wife can lead him. In this instance, supposing he had cause the death of his wife, the man himself dies, but so sensationally that the end must make a strong impression upon all who see it. The fact that a man may be infatuated with a woman not his wife is confirmed by too many unpleasant experiences of that character, but the punishment doesn't always come so swiftly and certainly. Neither does the unfortunate wife always awake to a realization of her fickle husband's worthlessness in time to save herself from endless sorrow, or some desperate act which either destroys her life, or in some other way mars her future. The lesson taught so dramatically here is salutary and will unquestionably make a difference in some lives. The Moving Picture World, June 11, 1910
