A garbled review notes Wild Oats Lane adapts Gerahd Beaumont stories with title mismatch. Cast includes John P. Markseen as a gambling priest and Robert Brower as a charming servant, while Viola Dina and Robert Agnew lead, with a benevolent priest who gambles with the devil shaping much of the plot and comedy.
The piece praises Brower for a deft old man role and a logical plot set in a shady underworld. It notes a strong trial scene with The Dude guided by a former partner after a failed safe robbery and a romance that feels grounded and real. Wild Gats Lane is critiqued as a weak title but still calls the photo-play excellent with strong performances.

The Scarlet West presents a white man invasion tale set in frontier fort life. Cardelanche, an Indian ally educated by whites, faces loyalty conflicts as he navigates tribal duties and American constitutional ideals.

Director John Adolph delivers a well done General Custer with many Indian scenes filmed exceedingly well. The leading players include Robert Edeson Johnny Warner Walter McCrall Gaston Glass Helen Ferguson Huth Stonehouse and Martha Francis. The Scarlet West ranks with The Vanishing American in atmosphere and with The Covered Wagon in action. It is a good picture.
