It's an early and primitive RKO Pathe film from the young Ginger Rogers - the next year she teamed up with Fred and never looked back. And William Boyd still had a couple of years to go before he became Hopalong Cassidy for the rest of his life.
Story relates the trials and tribulations of a logging company which is visited by a showboat containing an entertainment troupe; Ginger and Boyd love each other much to the opposition and disgust of his father wonderfully hammed by Hobart Bosworth. It's pretty much run of the sawmill stuff, except maybe in watching the cavalier attitude workers had to moving gargantuan pieces of timber around in some scenes, whenever it was timber anyway. The runaway train sequence was taken at warp speed - but you should know how it'll all end. That's right, Ginger was worrying about her (tree) feller for nothing!
I didn't see a carnival and only a little bit of boat but it's short and almost sweet with a harmless inconsequentiality to preclude serious criticism; worth an hour of my time.
