It isn't a well-constructed bridge

A melodramatic picture of English life from Miss Braddon's popular novel. Recently the Selig Company produced the same story in one reel. This is in two reels and has escaped much of the cramped distortion; is a very much better picture. But it isn't so good as the Thanhouser "East Lynn," so similar to it in many ways that it invites comparison. The backgrounds and photography in "East Lynn" were lovely, more so than in this picture, which tells a more connected story. Both suffer in the transplanting, the first from the stage, the second from a book, and both seem disconnected, not organic wholes. Both are well acted pictures and clear enough and interesting enough so that the spectator's own imagination is able to supply the breaks between the disconnected scenes. "Aurora Floyd" is good entertainment. If it isn't a well-constructed bridge, it gives easy stepping stones. Where "East Lynn" was liked, this will be and we believe that means everywhere. - The Moving Picture World, December 21, 1912
