It's one of those films that someone actually found in an attic!<br /><br />Miss Hawley, sad to say, looks the worse for wear in her close-ups, which are mercifully few. She has a very "hard" look. Her voice is fine. It's one of those instances where it would seem nice to see a star of her stature later on, but knowing the calibre of films in which she had made only ten years before this B-western, I almost wish that she hadn't made the film.<br /><br />My film interests straddle both silents and early talkies, as well as westerns. I had no grand expectations, but it was rather disheartening.Jonnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4078055360046475963.post-67742797370527674402014-03-12T11:50:32.085-07:002014-03-12T11:50:32.085-07:00Anonymous, I did a search and the movie might actu...Anonymous, I did a search and the movie might actually be called "Fires of Fate".

The hero, I know not his name is thrilling." I can't find anything about that movie. Not one of her famous ones I guess.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4078055360046475963.post-56636931063065108892013-05-29T12:43:57.542-07:002013-05-29T12:43:57.542-07:00Interesting, I hadn't heard of her but I had s...Interesting, I hadn't heard of her but I had seen her with Valentino before.
