 The gang determines to use the Patriarch, played by Hobart Bos- worth for their own evil purposes and by deceiving him provide some easy money for themselves, but they find themselves confronted with a power of goodness that touches even their shriveled souls It is a story of redemption that will stir the emotions of all who see it.

It was first made into a silent picture in 1919 with Betty Compson in the role now taken by Sylvia Sidney as the girl sweetheart of the crook who heads the gang. It is a drama so perfectly constructed and so epic in its quality that, as it was great fourteen years ago. it is still great
