Didn't lose its grip on the audience from the beginning

A clearly told and perfectly produced burglar story that didn't lose its grip on the audience from the beginning. The acting that such a story demands is conventional. Florence Turner plays one of the important parts. Like the acting, the photography, the sets and scenes, everything that goes to make the offering natural and convincing, are of good quality. George Cooper plays a criminal janitor who knows that the jewelry store clerk (Leo Delaney) has had to take home some valuable gems, and, with the help of a pal (E.R. Phillips), burglarizes the house. The skull is thrown into the room by some medical students on a spree, and delays the thugs till help comes. L.J. Williams deserves credit for a new story, which is skillfully written up. Producer W.V. Ranous has made an excellent picture of it. - The Moving Picture World, February 22, 1913
