The reproduction of Italian scenery is remarkably well done

[deickemeyer · 4 March 2015]

Here is one from the Selig studios, lifelike and engaging, carrying one to Genoa and breathing the spirit of Italy itself. The reproduction of Italian scenery is remarkably well done. In fact, it does not require any difficult work on the part of the imagination to believe one is looking upon a scene in the actual life of that interesting country. It is full of action, in some instances of a very exciting, not to say sensational, character, and it causes one to observe closely in an endeavor to comprehend what comes next. It is one of the Selig sort, with all the snap and dash and accurate interpretation which are so characteristic of the Selig films. - The Moving Picture World, February 19, 1910
