And Producer Goldwyn was smart enough to import the Geddes-Kingsley gang en masse, the whole dirty, ruthless, gay, heroic, nasty, sadistic crew of them.

...lived and labored, sweating in the noonday and sometimes cursing the bread he earned, for Bunyan's acres were scrawny with drought and his back was bad with rheumatism. Finally he got him a cane to hobble around on. Chance came to Farmer Travis last spring when a gang of husky young men from the Southwest put up a derrick on his land and began to drill for oil. On May 23 they brought in an oil well which produced nearly 3,000 barrels the first 24 hours. That day Farmer Travis threw away his cane...
