My reaction
Concept:1/4 (Bad)

Dialog:0/4 (Terrible)
Pacing:2/4 (Indifferent)

Subjective Rating: 2/10 (Terrible, 0/4 (Terrible)). Well. All of the lack of film-making technique you'd expect from the early 1910s, combined with a shallow, cynical melodrama. No thanks.
Objective Rating (Average):1.4/4 (Bad)
