The Futility of Revenge (1914) User Reviews

The story itself is of a melodramatic turn

[deickemeyer · 10 March 2019]

This two-reel number possesses considerable interest and at the same time contains a number of minor faults which prevent its being very strong. Dorothy Phillips plays first the mother and then the daughter, and for this reason it is difficult to think her father would not recognize her in the latter role, the girl being, of course, the image of her mother. Alexander Gaden gave a good portrayal of Dent, the gentleman crook. The story itself is of a melodramatic turn and quite entertaining in spite of its uneven development. - The Moving Picture World, October 17, 1914
