Synopsis

The setting is the Old West town of Paradise, Nevada, where a young woman, Mercedes Murphy (played by Louise Glaum), co-owns and operates a combination saloon and dance hall called the Red Hen with her business partner, Slick Barney (played by Jack Richardson). Her little half-sister, Olive "Live" Sumner (played by Mildred Harris), who is crippled, lives with her and she makes every effort to protect the child. A tough, but good-hearted businesswoman, Mercedes shows a tender side at home with Live. Her partner, Slick, and a cowboy called the Heller (played by John Gilbert), who has a heart of gold, are both interested in Live.

Colibel Terrible acting, screenplay and direction.
Fairaher The film makes a home in your brain and the only cure is to see it again.
Sameer Callahan It really made me laugh, but for some moments I was tearing up because I could relate so much.
Phillipa Strong acting helps the film overcome an uncertain premise and create characters that hold our attention absolutely.
boblipton This is an interesting and atypical short for Triangle. First, Louise Glaum, who was one of the leading vamps of the 1910s -- she usually played the bad girl in William S. Hart westerns -- stars here as the heroine, an atypical good girl role, and she is excellent at it. Second, it is an early leading role for John Gilbert, and he lights up the screen. Why did it take ten years before he became a star? Third, the director is Reginald Barker, now sadly forgotten, but a fine story-telling director until the mid-thirties -- his best known movie was Ince's production of CIVILIZATION the previous year. and he tell his story with with interesting shots -- the intercutting between the preacher giving his Sunday sermon and the fourpiece band playing at the dance hall across the street is quick, funny and eloquent.In short, this is a fine serious movie. Take a look at it if you get the chance.
