Less Than the Dust review

A brown-faced Mary Pickford stretches her acting chops by playing an Indian child instead of an American one in this rather pointless silent. There are some mildly amusing scenes early on - particularly when Pickford falls into a sacred pool - but the plot is so wafer-thin that you have to wonder why they bothered.
