A dime novel subject, as represented by the title. It tells in a rather graphic style the story of the stealing of a child by a gypsy who was incensed because alms was refused, and the melodramatic rescue by a gentleman who dons the gypsy's garb and enters their camp in disguise. The film is picturesque and displays to good advantage many of the interesting characteristics of the gypsies. The photography is spotty in places and might be strengthened throughout the film with a little more care on the part of the operator. Dramatically, the interest of the subject is maintained, though without any feature of special importance. - The Moving Picture World, February 5, 1910
