A Pathé which is full of pathos, so much so, indeed, as to be a bit gloomy. Mirielle and Vincent love each other, but when her stern old father is asked for his consent to their marriage he refuses. Brokenhearted, Mirielle wanders away. She comes to a wayside shrine where she prays fervently. She then staggers back to the old meeting place, a church, where Vincent finds her. But it is too late. Her heart has been broken by the anguish she has undergone and she dies in his arms. This film would be worth seeing without the story. That is too gloomy and depressing to be entertaining. But the scenery is beautiful, and it is shown with all the attention to tonal quality for which the Pathés are famous. One cannot commend the story as an amusing or even instructive feature, but the staging is beyond criticism. – The Moving Picture World, May 15, 1909
