The desert scenes are conventional. The action is at times draggy and the picture is not as "big" as its extensive exploitation would indicate.

The picture teems with picturesque scenes and beautiful color effects. It is well directed and well acted. You may thoroughly approve of Miss Ayers.

The acting could not be worse than the story, but it is bad enough. Valentino is revealed as a player without resource.

The pageantry of horsemen and spears on backgrounds of white sand and sloping dunes is notable. As a spectacle photoplay it should easily have high rank.
