• • "Klondike Annie" • • 
• • Robert Cashill wrote: In a more strait-laced era this one, with Mae West as “The Frisco Doll,” a fallen woman who masquerades as a missionary, raised a few eyebrows, and newspaper magnate William Randolph Hearst (the highest paid person in America, followed by West) vowed to keep her name out of his publications. But for all the cuts imposed (the film was banned outright in Georgia) West remained irrepressible. Says The Frisco Doll, “When caught between two evils, I generally like to take the one I never tried.”
• • "The Heat's On" • •  . . .
