"In the Border States" is a very simple story of a horrible and senseless time, but it gets top rating because of the performance of little Gladys Egan.
In years, her career, if that's even the right word, was short, but in those few years, she accumulated 110 credits, apparently not performing after 1914.
She plays the younger daughter of a man who goes off to war, and that terrible event is fought right in the family's neighborhood.
Northern and Southern forces fight back and forth, and the child gets her loyalties and her humanity tested.
Not much surprising happens, but how little Gladys Egan, about age 10 at filming, handles her role makes watching this completely worthwhile.
