The Cipher Message (1913) User Reviews

Would have been helped by a bit more realism

[deickemeyer · 22 January 2018]

Clever use of a cypher and its surprising solution is one of the bright spots in this two part crook and detective story. The picture would have been helped by a bit more realism, especially in the costume in which the female crook applies for the job as maid to the rich young lady (would have been more convincing), but it gets over very well as a tale and makes a commendable offering. The script, by Wallace Clifton, was produced by F.J. Grandon. - The Moving Picture World, December 13, 1913
