Name: Nerve
Genre: Short
Released: 1914-07-11
Cast: Henry King, Jeanie Macpherson, Charles Dudley

A one-reel offering in which there is continuous action pictured with little art. The poor man has nerve trying to rob the house of the mining sharp who sold him a worthless claim. The woman has nerve when finding the man in the house she holds him up while waiting for the police. But the most nervy thing of all is when, after she hears the man's story, she tells the cop that the man is her brother. A one-reel offering might be a true feature, but we dare not command this as better than a fair, ordinary offering. - The Moving Picture World, July 11, 1914
