Tigrett's bank grew slowly. But Tigrett's reputation as a man with a head for figures spread rapidly. When local capital ists rashly decided to build a 48-mile rail road, the Birmingham & Northwestern Railroad, they elected Tigrett treasurer, a position which incidentally included the job of raising the money to keep the rail road running.

Horses in motion are always cinegenic, whether or not the motion makes any other sort of sense; and a couple of fights in this picture are dramatic as well as beautiful to watch. Best performance is the Albino's: his intransigent head, scornful mouth and ice-blue...
