It ranks high as entertainment, because of its freshness

A romance of Russia in the Middle Ages. In the costumes, make-up sets, etc., which are full of atmosphere and very commendable, there is a smack of the Tartar. Its hero is a lieutenant who has to carry off his sweetheart to save her from a forced marriage with his general. There is a pursuit at night through a dark forest (very Russian); the pair are overtaken, but everything turns out happily. It has been very carefully produced, even the minutest things show commendable forethought. It ranks high as entertainment, because of its freshness (we haven't seen many Russian pictures). The narrative is clear and pretty effective. The photography is excellent in most of its scenes. - The Moving Picture World, September 14, 1912
