"A most artistic subject handles in a manner never before excelled, with keen appreciation of its poetic and dramatic value; photographically perfect and comprising many novel effects never before attempted." — Biograph Bulletin no.208
"PIPPA PASSES the latest play without words to be seen in the Nickelodeons" — headline for the first film review ever published in the New York Times, 10-October-1909
