Educational
1/5

Kids can learn about the history of movies by experiencing this silent film. Some historical information that might pique kids' interest.

Message
3/5

This is a classic underdog story where a lonesome little guy, good-hearted and unpretentious, perseveres and finds success against the odds. Also, the idea that true love is more important than money or looks.

Role model
4/5

The Lone Prospector is always polite and kind. While Georgia seems as flippant as her party-girl entourage, she comes to recognize the smitten LP's decency (though his newfound millions probably are no deal-breakers either).

Violence
2/5

Rifles are menacingly pointed, and some men are shot with revolvers -- fatally but bloodlessly. Comical scuffling, as one hallucinating starving guy tries to eat another. The violence hardly makes an impact due to the silent format.

Sex
0/5

Some romance.

Drugs
2/5

Saloon drinking, New Years celebrating, and smoking by various characters.
