There seems to be little depth or grasp to her presentation

Longfellow's beautiful romance is here shown in picture with the help of some well-chosen quotations, which serve as "leaders." The scenes are often very beautiful. They consist of interiors, the seaside and a glimpse of the village of Arcadia, in Nova Scotia, and then of forest and river scenes in the southwest. The costumes are perfect and the acting graceful. Evangeline herself is pretty and very pleasing, although there seems to be little depth or grasp to her presentation. The story is not easily adaptable to either the theater or pictures; yet the Selig Company has made it clear enough and doubtless it will be very acceptable indeed as an educational film. - The Moving Picture World, December 30, 1911
