Modified from the original, for dramatic purposes, by Sscenarist Dorothy Yost, it is the story of a wild young girl who is the object of paternal love, of romantic love, | and of brute desire, in a California mining town of 1870. Tense are the situations that develop between the | men interested in the untutored young girl, M'liss. Anne Shirley, Green Gable: roaring West star of plays the girl, M'liss. John Beal seen as a cultured school teacher who finds himself on dangerous ground when his love | for M'liss pitches him into trouble | which he refuses to settle with the customary gun fight. Moroni Olsen, as a giant saloon | keeper, Douglass Dumbrille, as a; professional gambler and gun ar- tist, and Frank M. Thomas, as a| barber, play seif-appointed guar-| dians, ready to go to any lengths for M'liss; James Bush portrays a mistaken blade who figures one girl is the same as the next. Guy Kibbee tops the support as M'liss’ gleefully inebriated father, with a porfrayal that combines comedy with éragedy. The picture “Anne of | DOUGLASS MORON!
