| Review from "Moving Picture World," October 1912: "BETTY'S NIGHTMARE (Victor), Oct. 11.— Betty, who is employed as cook in a farmhouse, but wants to act, sees the 'great aggregation of talent' that goes with the patent medicine man and dreams a good old melodrama, an excellent and very amusing take-off. Miss Florence Lawrence puts some of her most energetic acting into the picture and keeps it going at marvelous speed. Mr. Owen Moore is her leading man in the hired man on the farm. It makes a good offering, light and breezy." |
