A two-reel adaptation of the famous Conan Doyle story, the scenario being written by Grace Cunard. Francis Ford plays the part of Sherlock Holmes. There is of course one of the thick-headed officers from Scotland Yard and Dr. Watson to complete the picture. The characterizations are none too strong, but the story is well put on and holds the interest firmly. The finding of Drebber's body is shown and then the manner in which Sherlock Holmes takes the trail, finally rounding up the guilty man. The cabby's story is well-pictured, the American scenes being elaborately staged. The photography is a little dark in places, but on the whole this makes a good offering. - The Moving Picture World, January 2, 1915
