- "On Dangerous Paths" Is the story of a foolish young girl who insisted upon learning the lesson of life through experience rather than take the advice of those who had already gone through the mill. It's only saving grace is that it is a story taken out of life, a story that nearly every young girl has to learn. Viola Dana in the leading role is winsomely pretty. As an unsophisticated young girl with the whole world before her, Miss Dana was eminently pleasing. Pat O'Malley playing opposite gave his usual finished performance, and the balance of the cast was good. Though the recipient of the love of a very desirable young man and though she returns this affection. Eleanor Thurston feels that she must be independent and earn her own living. She leaves for the city and obtains a position as nurse in one of the large hospitals, where one of the young doctors with a reputation as a lady killer becomes infatuated with her fresh young beauty and pays ardent attention to her. She is carried off her feet and not realizing that his intentions are not honorable, is placed in a compromising situation from which she is rescued by her country lover.—New York Dramatic Mirror
- Influenced by her successfully employed sister, Eleanor Thurston, the daughter of a country minister, refuses Roger Sterritt's marriage proposal and leaves for New York to find a job. In the city she receives nursing training and is hired at a hospital where Dr. Sinclair, a handsome, seductive intern, saves her from the attack of a violent mental patient. Upon arriving in New York to work in his father's business, Roger gets drunk with some friends and is picked up by Dr. Sinclair and delivered to the hospital. Eleanor finds him the next morning, again refuses his proposal and declares her love for the doctor. Hurt and jealous, Roger leaves with another woman, but when he runs into Eleanor with Sinclair in a restaurant, he connives to talk to the doctor alone and persuades him of his committed love for the girl. Touched, Sinclair leaves without a word, and Eleanor agrees to return to the country with Roger.—Pamela Short
- Eleanor Thurston, of Sterrettsville, and Roger Sterrett, son of the wealthiest resident, are in love. Strangely enough, Eleanor has not imbibed the philosophy of her father, a minister, who believes always that the Lord will provide. Consequently, when Joan, her businesslike sister, arrives from the city for a stay, Eleanor sees no reason why she shouldn't take advantage of an offer made by an uncle in the city to help her all he could if she decided to become a business woman. When Roger calls with a perfect blue-white solitaire, that evening, he is almost knocked speechless by Eleanor's statement that she is going to the city. The advice of Eleanor's family and Roger is not heeded and she leaves for the city. Although chagrined at Eleanor's refusal, Roger still remembers that faint heart never won fair lady and determines to go to the city and bring her back to the country. Eleanor becomes a nurse and while doing night duty is attacked by an insane patient. She is rescued by Dr. Sinclair, whose fatal good looks have been the cause of many an imbroglio. They are infatuated by each other, the doctor winning another point when he transfers Eleanor to day duty. The doctor is neither an angel nor a bad sort, his chief fault being in knowing women too well and oftentimes encouraging them beyond propriety. Roger arrives in the city to investigate some difficulties in the New York office of his father. His arrival is celebrated by him and other gay young rounders with the result that early in the morning he is picked up intoxicated by Dr. Sinclair and taken to a hospital. In the morning Eleanor, now doing day duty, recognizes him. Roger earnestly pleads with her to go back to the country, but Eleanor is practically in Dr. Sinclair's power and refuses. When Roger learns of her love for the doctor, he leaves in a rage and in full view of Eleanor flirts with a stranger and leaves with her in an automobile. Eleanor has a dinner engagement with Dr. Sinclair. They arrive at a wayside inn and are seen by Roger, who is there with Miss Montgomery, the flirt. Eleanor and the doctor get a private dining room, much to Roger's discomfort. They have been inside some time, during which the doctor has, by cajolery and insincere promises, practically won Eleanor over, when a note is handed to the physician. Soon he is on the veranda arguing with Roger, who finally convinces the doctor of his sincere love for the girl. The doctor leaves and Roger greets Eleanor, telling her what has transpired. Miss Montgomery, deserted, enters the private room and at once starts a tirade against the man who "passed her up," for another. A bill curtails her volubility. Eleanor and Roger are back in Sterrettsville the following Sunday, the happiest persons in the world had seats in the front row in the little church.—Moving Picture World synopsis
