| ~A60-62: Seena Owen, Arthur Shirley & William S. Hart~ |
| ~Plot Synopsis~ |
Drunk and disorderly cowpoke Robert Sands (William S. Hart) is banished from an Arizona frontier
town and hops on a freight train heading for New York. Arriving in Manhattan, the
rough-and-tumble cowboy obtains a position as "physical guardian" to a spoiled member of the
social register (Arthur Shirley). Charged with recovering a series of compromising letters from the
young wastrel to a female restaurant owner (Seena Owen), the Westerner falls in love with the girl
himself. Realizing that he is a duck out of water among the city swells, Sands magnanimously
resolves to put his employer's happiness ahead of his own and bring the two youngsters together.
Branding Broadway was a refreshing departure for the usually so forbidding western star and critic
Louis Reeves Harrison, of Moving Picture World, found it "a pleasure to see Hart in a completely
new role."
