Joel Crothers as Romeo has but two strings to his harp: he either smiles the ingenuous smile of a toothpaste advertisement or pouts like a child denied his lollypop.

Garland conversed with ghosts of Henry Fuller, an old friend, Conan Doyle, Mark Twain, Jack London ("Why not Columbus?" asked one irritated ghost). Violet Parent and an assortment of dead Indians, padres and conquistadors, who told him where more crosses could...
