This transition covers twenty-five years of Frisco Jenny's life, from the time she is an innocent girl of seventeen until she becomes a woman of maturity. There is no rapid change from innocence to crime, but the character of Frisco Jenny is shown to grow gradually barder as she fights her way to the feadership of the rice ring of the old Barbary Coast of San Francisco. The role is quite different from any that Asa Chatterton has recently depicted but is not dissimilar to some of her former screen portrayals such as "Madame X," in which she made one of her most striking successes, To the supporting east are Donald Berry, Jr., son of Noah Berry and Cook, James Murray, Louis.Calhern, nephew of Wally Beery, who has not Hallam Cooley and Pat O'Malley, ; been seen in a feature length picture The screen play la by Wilson Mizner before.
