A wonderfully beautiful and realistic reproduction of the Bible story of Samson. The stage setting is unusually well handled. The acting is good, and in no instance overdone, while the coloring leaves nothing to be desired. The strongest scene, where the crippled Samson is forced to submit to having his eyes burned out. made the audience sit still in breathless horror. The scene where he is lashed into turning the huge wheel is another which causes the audience to make signs of deep sympathy. The close never fails to bring a round of vigorous applause. Some in the audience at one theater were heard to say that it was the finest film seen in many a day. -- The Moving Picture World, November 28, 1908
