Reviews
The story of the professor’s passion for the chansonet star and their mutual relations stretches over five acts; on the contrary, the “enticement” of a tender young man in the network of an experienced cocotte and after that the bloody denouement of the drama - all this goes very quickly, hastily and takes one last act of drama <...> The performance of the picture is generally mediocre <...> The production is good in details, but somewhat monotonous generally.
