Imaginary scenes from a war between Japan and America

There is a lot of good acting and some elaborate costuming in this three-reel offering, but those are its main points of interest. It follows, so far as we could understand, the lives of members of the Primrose family, from 1776 down to 1912. War scenes are given in Revolutionary and Civil War times and later there are imaginary scenes from a war between Japan and America. Washington and Lincoln are impersonated and later Fred Truesdale appears as Woodrow Wilson, whom he resembles strongly. But as a story this lacks any compelling interest and when it is all over the observer is considerably puzzled as to its intent. - The Moving Picture World, May 17, 1913
