They Like 'Em Rough Synopsis
Katherine Trowbridge, a rebellious young orphan, lives with her aunt and uncle, the Curtises, who desire a match between Katherine and Weathersbee but pretend to oppose the union, knowing she will be the more likely to accept it. Accidentally discovering their trickery, she leaves home and determines to marry the first man who will have her. Consequently she offers herself to a bearded lumberjack (actually Dick Wells, a former suitor in disguise), and he accepts her. She is forced to go to a logging camp and there to cook and otherwise make herself useful. Kelly, a camp agitator, captures Katherine when she tries to escape from her husband, but Dick trails them and rescues her after a savage fight. When the doctor removes Dick's beard to dress a wound, Katherine recognizes him and finds that she has learned to love him.
Brown of Harvard Synopsis
Tom Brown shows up at Harvard, confident and a bit arrogant. He becomes a rival of Bob McAndrew, not only in football and rowing crew, but also for the affections of Mary Abbott, a professor's daughter.
"They Like 'Em Rough" holds a slight edge in general audience appreciation, but "Brown of Harvard" offers its own unique cult appeal.
