Collins San Francisco California Salvation Army Chinatown romantic crime melodrama starring Phyllis Barrington, Jason Robards Sr., John Harron, Dot Farley, and Mary Carr. Note that star Phyllis Barrington is a Salvation Army worker who gets involved with a Tong leader, and also note that the Tong gangsters are presented as far more sympathetic than the American ones, unusual in a 1931 movie. Also note that Mary Carr became a major star in the mid 1910s around the age of 40, playing the parts of saintly mothers. She continued to make movies (switching to grandmother roles) through the mid 1930s, and then continued with mostly uncredited parts until the mid 1950s. She passed away in 1973 at the age of 99!
