A good picture, telling a story of the Arabian desert, but taken in America with a desert background for its early and its closing scenes and with studio sets for the intermediate scenes. The story is interesting and clearly pictured. The characters are a wild, poetic sheik of the free-footed Asra tribe; with the daughter of the sultan of a city and with palace people and desert folk. The picture's charm comes from its scenes with their graceful figures dressed in silks and gems, etc., rather than from anything in the narrative which doesn't convince. The troupe of players of another company who were in Egypt do much truer work in this atmosphere than any producer at home can ever hope to do. Hobart Bosworth, with Miss Besserer, plays the leading role. It is an entertaining offering. - The Moving Picture World, August 31, 1912
