A despot falls for a dancing girl. After she rejects him, he has her other beau framed for murder.

Sid Silverman

Variety

The Dove doesn't threaten to get under the skin and hasn't the dramatic intensity of the play. It's spasmodically slow.

Sydney Morning Herald

Withal, the story moves forward with painful slowness. It is really only hackneyed melodrama that the producer has decked out in all this scenic paraphernalia.

[West] has done some very clever work on this production. It has real atmosphere and, although there is a desire to make Miss Talmadge... a trifle too much of a guitar-playing angel, once one accepts this sweet girl the story runs along nicely.

It is a splendid picturization of a highly entertaining story.

The Mercury (Australia)

Thrilling adventures hold the onlooker in suspense until the last moment, when Dolores saves her lover from the deadly bullets by an appeal to the overweening vanity of Don Jose.
