The End of the Feud

A love story of the mountains with an exceptionally pleasing ending. Francis X. Bushman plays a mountaineer just home from college. In his absence a feud has sprung up. He falls in love with the daughter of his family's enemy, played by Martha Russell. The story works out to a poetical climax in which the child of these two comes in between the feudists just as they are about to open fire on each other and unconsciously brings the trouble to an end. The story is well filled-in by good acting and freshness of treatment. There is some confusion of characters (the two girls) that obscures the story for a moment or so. Opposite to Miss Russell there should have been a dark haired girl, to make a distinction instantaneous and certain. Playing the Parker family are Bushman; Win. Walters, the father; Harry Mainhall, brother; Helen Dunbar, mother, and Ruth Stonehouse, sister. Playing the Simpsons, beside Miss Russell, are Harry Cashman, father, and Bryant Washburn, brother. Fred Wulf has a minor part. - The Moving Picture World, October 26, 1912
