A picture which illustrates an Indian myth, a poetic love story of the long ago, in which a despised musician is refused the privilege of marrying the belle of the tribe. He proves himself not only strong enough to kill his rival, the tribe's stalwart warrior, in a struggle for the girl, but is able to make a magic flute which can and does restore the girl, now lying dead. In the closing scenes, the picture shows a short glimpse of modern life which suggests that the old myth is being played, in part, again. This kind of picture doesn't give the same punch that it did when newer; but, in this case, it is poetic and interests. The photography is clear enough to tell the story, but lacks the quality of liveliness, isn't artistic. It was written by Lanier Bartlet and produced by Colin Campbell. Wheeler Oakman and Bessie Eyton play the romantic leads. - The Moving Picture World, May 31, 1913
