A story of love and a feud among mountaineers. It has been worked up originally and has some very strong scenes. The producer, Herbert Brenon, has taken it close to the camera and made much of facial expression, which often becomes deeply absorbing. Jane Fearnley, as Madison's daughter, and William Shea, as her beau, whose family her father hates, have the romantic roles, while Matt Snyder and Mrs. A. Walker, a vindictive old couple, play the girl's parents. There's another youth who is jealous and tells the old man that the lovers are meeting and they go out gunning for Shea. The outcome of it is the death of Madison and, following this, the picture has several weak scenes; does not reach its former strength again until the old woman, aiming to kill the beau, kills her daughter, "the last of the Madisons," in his arms. The old woman's face at this point is a very fine piece of work. The photography is clear and often perfect. - The Moving Picture World, July 26, 1913
