Depicting the days of witchcraft with great fidelity

A three-reel offering, depicting the days of witchcraft with great fidelity. Alec Francis does some notable character work in the part of the miserly Marsh; Mildred Bright, a newcomer in moving pictures, plays the part of the heroine with feeling and intelligence; Robert Frazer, Julia Stuart and Fred Truesdale also appear to advantage. The story is consistent and strongly presented. The costuming and settings are satisfactory throughout and the atmosphere of superstition and bigotry is well suggested. The story could have been told in two reels, but the interest is sustained throughout. The offering as a whole is a notable one and certain to please the average audience. - The Moving Picture World, June 28, 1913
