Reviews: [The Moving Picture World, 8 January 1910, page 16] One of those magic pictures from the Pathe studio which make such marvelous and beautiful changes, one thing dissolving into another with such a degree of smootheness that one cannot see where the changes begin and end. The work on a film of this character must be of great precision and the coloring must be done with consumate care. It is one of the triumphs of motion picture art to be able to accomplish such beautiful things. These magic pictures are always attractive and are watched with a greater interest perhaps than any other variety of pictures which can be shown. Such pictures are none too plentiful and the addition of another successful one to the list should be hailed with pleasure by lovers of motion pictures.
