Mary Pickford, the celebrated film favorite, attains in “Tess of the Storm Country” a greater dramatic triumph than any that has yet distinguished her phenomenal career.

“Tess of the Storm Country,” the story of a woman’s heroism and her unconquerable faith, written by a woman who knows her sex, is a subject of inexhaustible fascination. The theme is full of uplift, and the dramatic situations often force a tear of which one need not be ashamed.
