"Millions have read this wonderful story, published first in the Saturday Evening Post, and upon which the Pallas Pictures production of the same name is based. Dustin Farnham as The Parson of Panamint, has literally immortalized by his screen characterization, one of the most interesting figures in the history of fiction of the great West. The story centers in one of the mushroom mining towns of Nevada of 40 years ago. The characters are lovable for their sincerity, their earnestness in trying to conform to the ethics of city government, one of which necessitates a parson. And Dustin Farman, as Philip Pharo, is chosen to purge on Sundays the evils of the week. The elements of human interest, of history, of tragedy and comedy, as related by Chuckawalla Bill form the foundation of a very unusual and wonderful story of the west."
