would expect for hot weather diet, II
IS Of healthy tone, entirely free from
mOrbidness- no problem so serious as
to involve unreasonable introspection
IS presented.
While two Of the four scenes are laid
IN England, the prevailing atmosphere
IS that Of the Western mining camp.
With all the accoutrements familiar
through other notable dramatic sue
cesses, the life maong rough men. honest
Of heart and speedy in meeting man-to-
man Justice, IS suitably portrayed.
