Human fun depends on things that are really human. Certain situations may be savage or barbarous (more or less elemental) and still be human. They will amuse; for in every one of us there is still some of the bygone past. In this picture we find a situation that has more that repels than appeals. It is aimed at the fin-de-siecle consciousness and at the same time outrages it. The author, Ralph Delmore, missed his mark when he offered that bedroom scene as comedy. The picture has a very charming leading actress whose playing nearly saved the scene and the photography is beautiful. To the players and the producer all the credit for this picture's good things are due. It has some lovely scenes. - The Moving Picture World, January 17, 1914
