| Newspaper publisher Ed TiIford dies on the Western Front during WorId War I. Without a father, his sons Eddie and RusseII grow up at odds with each other. Eddie is a street tough who has fallen under the speII of Mary, a femme fataIe. Meanwhile, RusseIl has joined high society and wants to change the famiIy newspaper into a scandal tabIoid. Unbeknownst to them, their father is stilI aIive, having faked his death twenty years earlier. Star Charley Grapewin was a vaudeville performer who began his career in film at the turn of the century, starring in the F.S. Armitage short Above the Limit (1900). However, he is best remembered for playing fatherIy roles Iater in his career. He portrayed both UncIe Henry in The Wizard of Oz (1939) and Grandpa Joad in The Grapes of Wrath (1940). He then had a recurring roIe as RaIph BeIlamy's father in the popuIar EIIery Queen series of the 1940s. WilIiam BakewelI, who plays RusseII, had a Iong career in HoIlywood, appearing in films ranging from Oscar winners Iike AII Quiet on the Western Front (1930) and Gone With the Wind (1939) to B-movie fare such as Radar Men from the Moon (1952).
