Title Lobby Card

The Call Of The Canyon Many years after the world war, Glenn Kilbourne, who has been gassed, returns to New York and finds his fiancee, Carley Burch, a leader in a wealthy, ultra-jazzy crowd.

Disillusioned and disgusted, Glenn has a relapse and is ordered to go to Arizona, where he hears the call of the canyon and his dislike for the New York idle set increase. Fearing she will lose him, Carley goes to the canyon.

A terrific fight between Kilbourne and Haze Ruff takes place during a sandstorm and Carley, disgusted with this rough, uncouth way of life, returns East.

Going to visit a friend of Glenn, who is in the hospital, she is made to realize what a quitter she has been. She again goes to Arizona and arrives just as Glenn is being married to Flo Hutter. Just at the last moment, Flo sees Carley, whom she knows Glenn still loves, and, insisting that she take her place, leaves the church.

Lee Stanton, who has always loved Flo, is waiting and receives her in his arms.

Isn't this a great shot!
