'A clever story takes the audience back to the time of the "Floradora" sextette, and is mainly concerned in the love affairs of two players, Mary Elliot (Zara Clinton) and Courtland Nixon (Rawdon Blahdford). Opportunity has been taken to translate to the screen pleasing studies of Australian girlhood in artistic settings, and among many exciting incidents Is a daring rescue from a burning building.'
