The producers evidently spared neither pains nor expense

This is another gorgeous Pathe production, with stately scenes before temple gates, in the sumptuous palace rooms and hanging gardens of Babylon. We see processions of graceful youths and maidens in silk and gold, a royal marriage, the death agony of a monarch, and the triumphal reception of a victorious queen. Its last scene pictures the destruction of Babylon. The picture will excite enthusiasm by its rich coloring, its magnificent settings, and its stirring scenes with horses and helmets and the waving of plucked palm branches. The producers evidently spared neither pains nor expense in making this picture. - The Moving Picture World, June 10, 1911
