A species of fairy story in which the love of a goddess for a shepherd youth brings his death. There are numbers of attractive scenes, with some handsome models posing in a few of them, but the film is not as good as some which have come from this house. The action is necessarily narrow and the only dramatic feature is where the youth breaks away from his goddess of the sea and falls into the ocean, to be drowned. The ending may be artistic, but in a film of this type would be far more interesting and satisfactory if it were changed to allow the couple to live together in happiness afterward. - The Moving Picture World, December 4, 1909
