The story is likely to convince the heart

Clearly aimed to please the many, this two-reel offering in which is pictured the trials and sorrows of Deborah, a Jewish girl in Austria of about a hundred years ago, is "a good guess" from the exhibitor's standpoint. The story is likely to convince the heart, although the mind will, if in a critical mood, find much that is not strongly logical in it and a bit of mawkish sentimentality. It carries the clear earmarks of the stage melodramas of the last period and includes a fine scene in which a Catholic priest stands off a mob intent on lynching the Jewess and another big picture of the persecuted girl's forgiveness of the lover who had let himself be deceived about her. Maud Fealey takes the role of Deborah and is adequately supported by a large and well-trained cast. The photography is excellent. - The Moving Picture World, July 18, 1914
