      Care wasn't taken to set the characters out in their proper, unmistakable places

      About the only weakness of this well-ridden Western romance is the confusing looseness of its beginning. Care wasn't taken to set the characters out in their proper, unmistakable places, so that we might know who they were and where they belonged. It is a chase and rescue picture. The girl is the daughter of a settler passing through the country in a prairie schooner. The danger comes from Indians and the rescuers are cowboys, led by the hero, who has fallen in love with the girl. The picture's quality comes from well-photographed, desert scenes and Rio Grande scenes, and also from good riding and a well-managed accident to the prairie schooner. It also has a conventional Indian fight around the overturned wagon. - The Moving Picture World, December 23, 1911
