Romantic drama with exciting game. Reviewed by C. S. Sewell Maloney's newest Patiiepicture presents him in the role of an investigator sent to unravel the mystery of frequent robberies of gold bullion. In addition to being the star, Mr. Maloney is again the director of one of his own productions and in this instance has laid more stress on building up the plot with the shifting of suspicion from the sheriff to the express agent and back. There is less action and stunts than in some of his previous pictures, but, on the other hand, the interest is more closely knit and the suspense is greater and coupled with a good punch climax in which Maloney rides and overtakes a stage coach and brings in evidence just in the nick of time to prevent the lynching of the sheriff who is innocent, this picture affords good virile entertainment for the western fans.

The story holds the interest with well sustained melodramatic tension, cross-currents of plotting and amusing comedy bits and works smoothly up to an excellent punch climax in which the hero is saved from lynching by the arrival of a trained elephant that scatters the crowd. Marian Nixon in the title role is excellent, adding further to her growing reputation as a fine and very attractive little actress and Pat O'Malley gives a sterling performance as the hero. Hobart Bosworth, always a dependable, makes the minor role of the circus owner stand out and Gladys Brockwell handles well the role of his discarded sweetheart.

Jim Gordon just can't keep out of trouble, though he loves Mary Ward and does his best, too, for her sake. She catches him embracing the college widow and turns the 43 .\s the star, Maloney gives a thoroughly likeable performance and as the director he has capably handled the megaphone. The night scenes and storm stuff are unusually convincing and there are several good punches. In addition there is a pleasing romantic angle to round out the story.
