A representation of the old Bible story of Jephthah's daughter. Different individuals will have different ideas regarding the adequacy of the pictures here presented; yet, it seems but fair to say that they are of more than average merit and present a reasonably accurate and full interpretation At any rate, the story is plain from the pictures. Whether the costuming and action are accurate are matters which can be determined only by long study of the records of the life of that day. Sometimes experts disagree on these points, hence it is practically impossible for laymen to decide. So far as is commonly understood, however, this picture seems to present the story of an incident in the history of ancient Israel with sufficient accuracy to make it understood. The mechanical work has been done with care and the picture promises to be more than ordinarily popular. In the amount of elaborate work done upon it, and in ambitious purpose it clearly ranks as the best film of the week. - The Moving Picture World, September 10, 1910
