Reviews
Paimann's film lists summed up: “In the prehistory, the subject deviates significantly from Hauptmann, but in the vision scenes it adheres pretty closely to the accusation and achieves strong effects. The presentation was excellent throughout, as was the presentation and photographic execution. "
"This silent film had its honorable position among the adaptations of Hauptmann's dramas for the cinema, for example next to 'Rose Bernd' der Porten, next to Zelnik's 'Webern'."
