    Under Burning Skies review
    Dainty Mary Pickford only has to stand by a tree to win the heart of Wilfred Lucas as Jim, "the bad man of San Fernand" and future director Christy Cabanne as the man who will become her husband when Jim breaks his pledge to stay off the booze. A good western from Griffith with a couple of tense confrontations between the two men. Lucas's performance is a little broad, but Cabanne and Pickford nail their parts.
