    An unusually interesting detective story

    This two-part photoplay, written by Lillian Bennet-Thompson, is an unusually interesting detective story, but reminds one somewhat of Sherlock Holmes and his pal, Dr. Watson. A wealthy man is shot while playing Chopin's "Seventh Prelude" and it keeps one guessing as to who fired the shot. A detective examines the Warren mansion and after a desperate struggle, catches the culprit. It holds the attention of the audience all through. The photography is very clear throughout, both the interior and exterior scenes. The acting is beyond criticism. - The Moving Picture World, August 15, 1914
