Scarlet Days
Rosie Nell, a woman of disreputable dance halls in early lawless California, is wrongly charged with the murder of one of her fellow entertainers. Because her daughter, who knows nothing of her mother's station in life, is to return the next day from her school in the east, Rosie is granted three days of grace to be spent in company with her daughter at a nearby cabin. The three days begin happily enough, thanks to the serenades of heroic bandit Alvarez and the poetry of romantic Randolph. But Bagley, the dance hall manager, has seen the daughter and has determined to make her his own.

Richard Barthelmess is the sort of "Zorro" character in this rather weak romantic drama from D.W. Griffith. The story is quite complex but basically involves him ("Don Maria") and his newly found pal "Sir Whitehead" (a very dashing young Ralph Graves) trying to thwart the ambitions of "King Bagley" (Walter Long) who has eyes for the gal "Rosy" (Eugenie Besserer) who has recently been robbed of her meagre poke by the greedy "Spasm Sal" (Rhea Haines). Now, it doesn't hang about this film - that's quite a lot of story to pack into 80 minutes, and though the photography of the Californian scenery is well shot, the performances are just a bit too flat to keep up with the, hectic, pell mell pace of the plot.. The hero is, frankly, anything but. Too many damsels in distress and though Besserer is
