    Makes a powerful impression

    There is passion in the way it is brought out in this picture that the father and son who had toiled for five long, self-denying years for money to buy a farm would die rather than give it up to outlaws, but finding a widow and her baby in need, think little of giving it all away to her. The faces of the players tell in bringing this human fact home to the spectator, especially does that of the old father, whom the roughs were torturing to make him reveal where the gold is hidden. The picture makes a powerful impression. It is well put on and a worthy offering in every way. Such pictures are worthwhile. - The Moving Picture World, February 14, 1914
