Movie Info
Tavern worker Tina (Marion Davies) enters and wins an ice-skating contest so that she can kiss Dennis (Owen Moore), a visiting traveler. Unfortunately, circumstances prevent their kissing, and Dennis, who is a bit of a ladies' man, leaves the country shortly after. When Dennis returns later, he sets his sights on Gretchen (Louise Fazenda), who is caught up in a love triangle with two other men. He goes to her home -- but it is Tina, who is helping out Gretchen, that he finds and falls for.

Marion Davies may not have the highest comedic talent in this film, but she does have a certain girl-next-door appeal, and 'Red Mill' was reasonably entertaining. She plays a Dutch servant who is used cruelly by her boss, a tavern owner played by George Siegmann with appropriate snarl and meanness. In one scene, he's dragging her near-frozen body along the ice back to work; in another, he's literally whipping her. She keeps a little ray of sunshine in a pet mouse who lives in a large hole in one of her clogs, and then soon sees and falls for a young man played by Owen Moore. It's not so straightforward, however, in that her identity is confused with another woman (Louise Fazenda), who has her own troubles, being betrothed to an old man but wanting another (Karl Dane). It gets a bit silly and some of the intertitles are oddly worded, but there are some nice scenes at the end in the "haunted" old mill, especially as the chase moves outside to the windmill blades themselves. There is also a brief scene of riches in the imagination of the young lovers which then returns to the present, a touching reminder of what the important thing is in life - true love.
