Mr. Jackson made a most agreeable impression in the role of Jefferson Stockton, a sturdy, keen American business man, devoted to his wife and ready to give her all that it was in his power to give. He was more than equal to the demands of an exacting part." (The Milwaukee Sentinel, December 31, page 4)
