Huntley Gordon is a new forestry graduate, hired to make a survey of Mary Astor's holdings in logging country. Her manager, Bradley Barker, is planning to knock down some of her biggest trees and sell the logs to the next logging company over.
It's a nicely produced three-reeler. I was very impressed by the concision with which the story is told, leaving time for some beauty shots of loggers at work. In addition, Miss Astor, at 15, in her second movie, is quite lovely. Her performance is simple at this stage -- she has yet to learn the nuances of screen acting -- but she offers a creditable performance.
