    This is a thoroughly romantic picture of court intrigue. The king (played by Owen Moore) is good-natured and unsuspecting, though the queen is plainly beginning to think too much of one of the courtiers. The queen's sister (played by Little Mary) is aware of this and saves the queen by taking her place. This deceives the king, but he requires that the villain and the queen's sister be married. She loves another courtier and the terrible situation is very well pictured by Little Mary. The villain turns out to be heroic and sacrifices himself. This saves the situation. For a romantic play, it is effective and commendable. - The Moving Picture World, July 22, 1911
