^^Rare AppeaP^ SAYS Movinfil Picture World (<T^HE subject is one that will never be for^ gotten by anyone who has seen it. The story written by Mr. Kyne is worthy of a place with the western classics of Bret Harte and the director (Jack Ford) has caught in splendid style the wonderful atmosphere and profound pathos of the original. It is a tale filled with sublime moments.* "The prison scenes are well done with great realism. A large cast of men appear as the convicts and the escape is accomplished in a way that is at once exciting and convincing." ''Star very Pleasing'' SAYS Motion Picture Journal 4(TTERE is a picture which you can tell your jLM. people is good, and be safe in making the promise. It is an adaptation of "The Three Godfathers/' and the director has caught the author's idea and made a very worth-while presentation." "The story secures attention from the start. The first big thrill comes when the star, an escaping convict, jumps his horse from a bridge into the water. A great deal of the action takes place in the Mojave desert, and in this sequence a stirring and realistic sandstorm is pictured."
