The glimpse of the life it shows, though savage, is human

[deickemeyer · 18 November 2017]

A bit from savage life taken in Queensland, Australia, and played for the most part by aborigines, It is interesting because the glimpse of the life it shows, though savage, is human and of vital concern even to us. Some of the highest qualities of the best literature are in it; but it is not strictly speaking dramatic. Its value is its truth of savage life so different from ours, yet so similar that we can wonder and sympathize at the same time. The photography is clear enough and the offering commendable. - The Moving Picture World, September 27, 1913
