Written by Gilson Willets and produced by Colin Campbell, this play is impressively played by a most competent cast. Bessie Eyton has the part of Magdalene and Thomas Santschi the role of Than, her lover. The priest is well portrayed by Al. W. Filson. It was a most excellent release for Good Friday. - The Moving Picture World, April 5, 1913
