(1918, Artcraft) William S. Hart, Robert McKim, Gertrude Claire, Maude George. A superb Bill Hart epic, choked with pathos, action, and intrigue. Bill is the ruffian leader of a roving lumberjack crew. He and his hooligans tumble into Timber Cove. Soon, he and the local tavern owner shoot it out. At stake are Bill's poker winnings against the owner's tavern. Bill wins. Later, the dead owner's elderly mother comes calling. Bill, ripe with guilt, takes her in and treats her kindly. Little does she suspect that Bill is the cad who killed her son. A fine North woods western epic. Jack Hoxie is good as a local ruffian. Music score, 16mm.
