The most realistic church interior ever seen in a film
We hate constructed, perhaps the most realistic church interior ever seen in a film. Not only were the seating facilities faithfully copied, but the pulpit, choir loft, altar, were reproduced accurately, besides we went to the expense of introducing a real, full-size pipe organ in the scene. This latter was conveyed to our studio in sections by means of heavy wagons and then erected by the organ builders. It is needless to add that this item in settings represented a cost equal to the entire expense involved in producing a complete film, of the average importance. While particular stress is laid on the above-mentioned scene, the production as a whole is novel throughout when you consider the vast variety of unusual scenes and situations it contains. In fact we have made "Returned to the Fold" more as an advertising film, to show what we are capable of, than anything else. Of course the story is brimming with real heart-interest and literally teems with sentiment. The sort of plot which makes us all better men and women in its unfolding. Nor have we sacrificed dramatic situations for sentiment in the production as there are many tense and exciting moments in the story and these have been transferred to intelligent action by a thoroughly competent cast of experienced people. - The Moving Picture World, January 14, 1911
