The vintage appeal of Sins of Great Cities to maintain its cult relevance across several decades.
After her father's sudden death Dorothy Reynolds finds a temporary home with her friends, Paul and Irene Walter. Monty Sullivan, an adventurer and proprietor of the ill-famed "Red Mouse," represents himself to her as a former business friend of her father, and arranges to have his manager offer Dorothy an engagement at the "Red Mouse," which she, much to her distaste, accepts. In order to ensnare her he soon proposes marriage to her. One of Sullivan's butlers, garbed as a minister, officiates at the mock-marriage, which takes place at Sullivan's home. Dorothy discovers the plot, and at once returns to her friends, through whom she obtains an engagement at the Casino theater. After a successful debut she becomes acquainted with Judge Walcott, who falls in love with her, and after a short while he proposes to her. Sullivan, who has not lost track of his intended victim, threatens to denounce her as his former mistress unless she leaves Walcott. Paul, learning of this, shoots Sullivan, who sends for Dorothy and Walcott and with his last breath brands her. Walcott thrusts her aside, but her grief soon turns into happiness when Walcott learns the truth, whereupon he and Dorothy face a happy future.

This fascinating region was set apart as a Government Reservation, to be known as Yellowstone Park, in 1S72. The park proper is about 62 miles long, from north to south, and 54 miles wide. While the tourist may reach the park entrance by rail, it has been decreed by Uncle Sam that beyond the Great Lava Arch Gateway the iron horse shall not trespass. So here leaving the pathway of steel we take our place on one of the six-horse coaches that run from Gardiner up to Mammoth Hot Springs. Coaching, Troops, Morris Basin, Great Fountain, Pack mules, Riverside Geyser, Old Faithful, Deer and Bear, Upper Falls, Canyon, Field Glasses. Standing on a balcony at Artist's Point we take up the field glass to have a tele-photo panorama of these weird walls with their clinging pine trees. We look down the Great Gorge. On either side walls of exquisite color rise with here and there pinnacle-like great church spires. Above our heads fly eagles who build their nests and raise their young on the top of these lofty peaks. The scene is a powerful one and beyond words, but the Great Falls add force and quality of action which tempers and dignities the whole scene. This enormous volume of water that looks like a curtain of lace, tumbles over a cliff of volcanic rock 310 feet. Here the traveler finds himself spellbound, held by the pure beauty of the scene. In turning away he pauses to marvel at the wonders of nature and the beauties of our great national playground.
