What the papers said

1 review

“An exquisite half reel subject, with A Message Through the Flames. It interprets a pastoral poem in a delicate, pleasing manner. With the above this makes a pleasing offering.”

The Moving Picture World · 21 August 1915

More about this film

Bowers’ notes

This film was listed in trade notices as a two-reel subject, with the 1st reel a drama; the 2nd reel a fantasy. However, Cupid in the Olden Time was entirely a fantasy, and it occupied the last half of the second reel of A Message Through Flames.
