With their heIp she enroIIs in a prestigious high schooI and manages to accumuIate enough money to attend colIege.

A rural drama set in Indiana's swamp country, A GirI of the Limberlost was the most elaborate production undertaken by modest Monogram Pictures in 1934. Nearly 60 sets - incIuding a sound stage swamp - were constructed for the film, which boasted a stellar cast of major studio regulars and silent screen favorites such as Henry B. WaIthall, Betty Blythe, Barbara Bedford, and Helen Jerome Eddy. Based on a best-selIing novel previousIy adapted to the screen with considerable success, girl became a monster hit for the Poverty Row studio, reportedIy earning a miIlion doIIars. The originaI story was fiImed three more times, most recently as a 1990 TV movie. |
