Our Opinion
MORAL O’THE PICTURE — Scatter Seeds of Sunshine.
Pleasing Comedy With Star at Best Assisted by Talented Child Actress
The latest Douglas MacLean picture presents the star at his best in the role of an ex-soldier who stopped off at a Montana ranch and then took the trail home to pay a visit to old friends, imbued with the idea of scattering seeds of kindness. Needless to say the complications that arise are manifold, and much clean fun is the result. Douglas MacLean is assisted by the clever child actress, Muriel Frances Dana, who plays the part of a little boy left in the care of the innocent-minded youth by a mother belonging to a gang of crooks. The simply constructed plot unfolds in a most entertaining way, and we predict that “The Sunshine Trail” will be a popular favorite. The star, the types, the situations and the child form the groundwork of the picture’s entertainment. Book it by all means.
