Wow, Blanche Sweet could really act! This is a real gem of the imagined American west. Blanche is forced by her father into a life of crime, is rescued by a grateful Indian friend, lives with him (chastely) for a couple of years and attempts to reenter society. A "de-but" ball is arranged. Then "Dad" reappears and threatens to spoil everything. But "Tana" has won friends (and a potential lover). So refreshing to encounter a strong female presence in early film. Blanche sweet could be very tough, assertive, and simultaneously very lovely, and always the consummate actress. We are lucky to find this film among Grapevine Video's recent selections.
