Although this is certainly not one of Griffith's stronger pieces from this period, it is still, like all his work, well worth watching. He handles large groups beautifully -- everyone is always doing something that makes sense, not just standing there saying "Rhubarb". And the early scene in which Charles West and Dorothy Bernard play falling in love is a beautiful piece of pantomime -- one forgets, sometimes, the strong visual component of acting that these old silent movies demanded.
