    Gives the Biograph players a chance to do clever acting

    An amusing extravaganza which gives the Biograph players a chance to do clever acting. It seemed to take with the audience and we heard a good deal of laughter. A South Sea Island sketch, it has a cannibal king and his chief officer of state whose robe of dignity is a copper's coat with badge and helmet. - The Moving Picture World, May 24, 1913
