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.

of their every day life. 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.
In addition to the climax, there is a thrilling chariot race scene and some excellent animal stuff, in fact, we do not remember

It tells a simple, natural story of mischievous student, who stars on the football team, the fair co-ed he loves and the troubles attending his propensity for mischief. Marceline Day and Charles Delaney do especially good work in a cast, no member of which can be criticised. The story closes with splendid scenes of a football game, and it attains a fine emotional crisis when the hoy makes good on the team and in his college after expulsion.

.\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.
The supporting cast is thoroughly satisfactory, with Melbourne McDowell giving an especially good performance as the sheriff. Joan Renee appears in the role of the heroine, with Albert Hart as the real culprit. Nelson McDowell in a character role of a stage driver, contributes comedy relief and Bud Osborne is a picturesque bandit.
