Perceval F. Reniers New York Post At all costs, almost literally, a spectacle has been made. It has all the prerequisites of such pageantry, and most of them are splendidly and lavishly executed, often with breathtaking enormity of design. Jan 12, 2022 Full Review Mabel McElliott New York Daily News [It] presents a swiftly moving, gracefully welded story. I can think of several places where it might have been ended with much more telling effect than with the rather dragged out finale it now boasts. But the illusion is, for the most part, complete. Jan 12, 2022 Full Review Edwin Schallert Los Angeles Times It contains love scenes that have been rarely paralleled in pictures. It reaches some beautiful highlands of art in the visualizing of a remote era in civilization, with its color and pageantry, and pillared magnificence of settings. Jan 12, 2022 Full Review Adele Whitley Fletcher Motion Picture Magazine Undoubtedly a fortune, many fortunes, have been expended in the making of this production, but it has all been for some purpose. It has given the cinema Court of Solomon a glory commensurate with that which has been sung of it down thru the ages. Jan 12, 2022 Full Review Buford Gordon Bennett San Francisco Examiner Such camera work made me forget I was in the [theater] viewing a photo play; it made me almost forget the theme of the production, as I allowed myself only to think of what a latitude the camera has. Jan 12, 2022 Full Review Shadow Stage Photoplay The principal moral lesson is that Los Angeles is a great place to run a lumberyard, a dry-goods store, a paint-house, a carpenter-shop and a decorating business, to say nothing of an agency for extras.
