    The scenes are snappy, gingery

    Edwin August produces his first picture on his return to the Powers company. He is supported by Mary Charleson, so long with the Western Vitagraph company. The story is of a man who from boyhood up has had a horror of a snake. The picture is well made, the scenes are snappy, gingery. The scene where Edwin discovers Mary, asleep by the trunk of a great tree, and crawling just above her head a great snake, is one to send a creepy thrill down the spine of the average man. That love of the woman conquers the fear of the reptile is natural, logical. The photography is excellent, the backgrounds are well selected. The acting is what is to be expected from these two players; they are competently supported. - The Moving Picture World, July 26, 1913
