The chief interest in this picture comes from its scenes as illustrations rather than as steps in the progress of a story; for the story as pictured is not plausible. It has some very pretty views. Natoosa is an Indian princess who falls in love with a white man. Her father offers her to him as his wife and being refused is incensed. His revenge is, after capturing the man and his white sweetheart, to stake them down in the desert; but they are rescued by Natoosa. If the red men had been the dominant race, which they never were so near well- built houses, the story might have convinced. No one would suspect that Robert Thornby, in the part of the chief, was not a real Indian. Natoosa, Mary Charleson, is almost as perfect. Robert Burns plays the cowboy. It was produced by Rollin S. Sturgeon from A.S. Behrmann's scenario. - The Moving Picture World, December 28, 1912
