I watched this because of one specific teaser screen shot but ended up being rather disappointed. A melodrama set in Alaska, tedious long scenes and mediocre actors - all except for one.
Conrad Nagel (31) as Jimmy Rowan, the Michigan Kid
"Come In - Open All Night - Play With Kid"
a paper clipping of Rose Morris, kid's childhood sweetheart
Don House (13) as Frank Hayward, Kid's childhood nemesis
Kid in his childhood, played by one of my new favorites, Maurice Murphy (15)
Virginia Gray (11) played the part of a younger Rose
Fred Esmelton (56) as Rose's grandfather
by chance Kid meets up with his former rival when they are both adults
Lloyd Whitlock (37) as the grown up Frank, whom Kid saves from a tight spot when the guy gets in trouble
and it turns out that Frank is engaged to Rose (Renée Adorée, 30)
Frank hides away in a cabin in the woods and waits for Kid to bring up Rose to see him
meanwhile the two rekindle their... chemistry
things get a little too heated up and a forest fire ensues

The film was directed by Irvin Willat who was 38 at the time
