Good story, Not enough for a whole film

Good concept, poorly executed.

It really made me laugh, but for some moments I was tearing up because I could relate so much.

The movie's not perfect, but it sticks the landing of its message. It was engaging - thrilling at times - and I personally thought it was a great time.

This is an interesting and atypical short for Triangle. First, Louise Glaum, who was one of the leading vamps of the 1910s -- she usually played the bad girl in William S. Hart westerns -- stars here as the heroine, an atypical good girl role, and she is excellent at it. Second, it is an early leading role for John Gilbert, and he lights up the screen. Why did it take ten years before he became a star? Third, the director is Reginald Barker, now sadly forgotten, but a fine story-telling director until the mid-thirties -- his best known movie was Ince's production of CIVILIZATION the previous year. and he tell his story with with interesting shots -- the intercutting between the preacher giving his Sunday sermon and the fourpiece band playing at the dance hall across the street is quick, funny and eloquent.In short, this is a fine serious movie. Take a look at it if you get the chance.
