As Big Bill Bloss, M'Laglen heeds her advice and proceeds to become entangled In everything and everybody, from the Queen of Lisonia to the president of the railroad. Leatrlce Joy plays the leading feminine role, and her piquant beauty and charm are shown to great advantage. Her work shows the indelible mark of talent and artistry I Slim Summerville, Clyde Cook, and Tom Wilson who aro also in the film, are said to be three comedians who are a certain relief for jaded nerves and a dormant sense of humour The i second attraction, "Show Life," starring Anna May Wong and Henry George, is a. story of two people who eke out an existence by doing the small time vaudevilles in provincial towns.
