      The cleverest of this series

      This is the fifth of the marvelous adventures of Octavius, amateur detective, and is, perhaps, the cleverest of this series that we have yet seen. The goose-like detective "makes good" again after his own eccentric fashion and the manner of it makes hearty fun. Acting is one of the picture's strong points. Beside Octavius (Barry O'Moore). the character of Anne Raferty (Jessie Stevens) adds to it, as does the butler (Julian Reed), the store detective (H.S. Mack) and one or two others. Frederick Arnold Kummer is the author and Charles M. Seay produced it. It is a good offering. - The Moving Picture World, May 30, 1914
