It is a picture with an intensely human appea and some of the biggest scene spectacles have been staged in the feature, Wilfrid North is the leading star in a big cast. Its human qualities hold a simple love scene between Mary Curtis and Jimmy Wallington demands as much, attention as the magnificent pageant scene patterned alter an old Indian durbar with its gaily compansoned elephants.
