- "The star was Charles Bickford, a rugged individualist reminiscent of Jack London. A husky, red-headed MIT alumnus from Boston, he worked his way across the country as lumberjack, trucker, Chinatown guide, harvest hand, ditch digger and boxer." https://www.questia.com/magazine/1P3-1255042181/east-of-java-braving-a-backlot-jungle
