The film itself is nothing special. a standard one reel melodrama of its time, running around 10- minutes in length.
The fascinating part of this motion picture however is the fact that its the only film in which I have been able to find a performance by the famous director William Desmond Taylor. I have been fascinated by the Taylor murder for many years and understood that all of his on screen films were considered lost. When this film showed up on You Tube however I was more than thrilled.
Taylor was indeed a charming and handsome man judging by his performance in this film.tall, suave and able to move well and use his face to show his charm.
Over all its a fascinating piece of history that should really be remastered just for the sake of it being the only known live action footage of Taylor.
