Conscience and the Temptress (1914) User Reviews

An idea along often trodden lines

[deickemeyer · 21 April 2018]

A carefully staged picture with story and idea along often trodden lines. If must have been very easy for its author (it shows no authority), N. MacGregor, to put it down on paper. It shows a knowledge of how to put scenes together and a fair memory of other pictures. The producer, Malcolm Douglas, has made some acceptable scenes, especially those simple ones at the older women's home, and Adele Lane, the temptress, Miss Johnson, her maid, Lillian Hayward, the man's mother and Edward Wallock as the man give something of entertainment. - The Moving Picture World, January 31, 1914
