In this picture, which was filmed by Mittenthal, James J. Corbett, one- time prize-fighter, is featured. This fact that Corbett appears in the picture. and appears much, has been the justification for the makers putting out such a story. With another leading man something in the way of script would have been necessary to put over the production. Mr. Corbett himself is satisfactory, considering he is new to picture making. It will be remembered that he has had stage experience. There is a claim jumping episode, a polo game, a holdup, a bond forgery, a murder, after which we see the dripping knife; the mystery of the killing is solved by reason of the photograph of the murderer showing in the eyes of the man who was killed. Jim is sent to prison on circumstantial evidence, which of necessity must be strong, but in this case there was none in sight. There are sufficient incidents to please those who like some kinds of "action." By the way, why does Mr. Corbett buy so many shirts of one pattern? The identical figure follows all through the many months covered by the story. The picture is in four parts. - The Moving Picture World, October 4, 1913
