Visualizing the convergence of Warren Millais's style and the core Romance narrative.
Johnny, the son of a rich man, is an idling, good-for-nothing loafer who leads a wild, hectic life, flunks out of college, and is disinherited and made to leave home by his father, who has given up on him in despair. Johnny opens a gas-station in Arizona, where "Waffles," a girl from Georgia, takes him in hand and employs her own methods of reformation with astonishing and fruitful results. More comedy than drama, if the meller-drammer acting is overlooked. It was released in the UK as "The Girl From Georgia" in 1934.
