A well staged and well acted subject. The coloring is delicate and probably as nearly authentic as it is possible to reproduce now. The makers have restrained the long runs which so often mar films in which there is horseback riding and have left the runs about the right length to hold the interest. When the messenger rides away with his new found sweetheart it never fails to arouse applause. The ending is a trifle weak. The pursuers ride close up to the fleeing couple and then disappear. It creates the impression that they are going to fall upon the little group of Crusaders. And when the scene closes without anything of the kind occurring there is a sense of something missing. Unquestionably the public who see these films dearly love to see a scrimmage and in a case like this they feel as though they had lost some of the fun when none results.
