Hardly reaches the height to which it aspires
deickemeyer8 August 2017
A three-reel offering which attempts to delineate the mysteries of the Rosary, giving the many scenes in the life of Christ, from childhood to the crucifixion and the ascension. This sort of a conception has to be handled with rare delicacy and artistic skill to be fully acceptable to the public, and this film hardly reaches the height to which it aspires. It does show worthy effort, however, and has a sort of educational value, in spite of its inartistic effects. The early Puritan scenes in the first reel are very good, but the makeup of the hero and his conduct in visiting the girl during her parents' absence gave us an erroneous impression of his character. A big undertaking, worked out with a fair degree of success. - The Moving Picture World, March 15, 1913
