The fierce passions of war are mingled with domestic difficulties

A long, three reel story of war times, in which the fierce passions of war are mingled with domestic difficulties of ten years' duration. The offering is consistent throughout and tells a strong moving story. The battle scenes are exciting and well done; there is a sharp conflict, in which the machinery of war is nicely demonstrated. One side is gradually pressed back, but, suddenly augmented by mounted troops, this side rallies and overcomes its adversaries. The girl's husband is killed, and she finds his body on the battlefield. In the last reel the grandchild, an attractive girl, brings about the forgiveness of the aged colonel, the close being very effective. The photos are uniformly good, and the offering as a whole an excellent one. - The Moving Picture World, March 22, 1913
