Everyone knows that a dictograph was used in several cases lately by detectives to get evidence. This picture gives a very vivid object lesson on it, and how it is used. It is a good detective story in which secret service men get evidence against a Senator and a briber. The Senator needs a chauffeur and the detective gets the job. We know that the briber is to meet the Senator, and the series of scenes showing the detective getting the dictograph set up so that he and a stenographer can overhear the conversation are filled with suspense. The Senator's daughter, she is very pretty, is used to maintain the suspense and give added interest to the story. The photographs are, for the most part, very good indeed. - The Moving Picture World, May 11, 1912
