The earliest surviving film featuring Lon Chaney in a major role, By the Sun's Ray's was but one of several 2-reel westerns starring the florid Murdock MacQuarrie. MacQuarrie plays a detective investigating a series of gold shipment robberies. Along the way, he falls for a mine superintendent's pretty daughter (Agnes Vernon), much to the dismay of a sullen mine office clerk (Chaney), who is also smitten with the girl. The clerk is actually a member of the outlaw gang and uses a mirror to signal his associates. It is the mirror that eventually gives the gang away. This 2-reeler was released by the Nestor Company, one of the many producing entities filming at the not yet officially opened but already busy Universal City lot. ~ Hans J. Wollstein, All Movie Guide
