There is a double exposure temptation scene that is perfect

Laura Sawyer plays a Spanish coquette among romantic backgrounds that are clearly photographed for the most part. The picture was taken at the place of Ramona's marriage and its story is told to tourists by a monk standing before the convent. In it an infatuated youth robs the statue of the Virgin of jewels to deck the coquette, but is discovered in the act and a tragedy follows. The offering stands on its costumes, graceful acting and backgrounds. There is a double exposure temptation scene that is perfect. The audience watched the story closely. - The Moving Picture World, March 1, 1913
