The story follows Rose Bocion, an orphan rescued from near-drowning by Sergeant Michael Devlin of the Royal Northwest Mounted Police. Rose falls in love with Bruce Norton, a visiting engineer, who later kills the man responsible for his sister’s betrayal. As Bruce becomes a fugitive, Rose helps him evade capture, navigating danger and loyalty amid wilderness drama. The narrative blends frontier adventure, romantic tension, and melodramatic stakes with themes of love, sacrifice, and the trials of life in a remote trading post. --- Background: Directed by Sidney Franklin for Warner Bros., Tiger Rose was adapted from a successful 1917 Broadway play by Willard Mack, starring Lenore Ulric who reprises her stage role. The film was part of the era’s penchant for “Northern” dramas—stories set in rugged Canadian landscapes featuring Mounties, romance, and moral conflict—and survives in archival prints today. --- Trivia: Tiger Rose was based on a popular theatrical play and featured Lenore Ulric reprising her Broadway role. The story was remade in 1929 as an early sound film starring Lupe Vélez and Rin Tin Tin. The film’s production included on-location wilderness scenes, capturing Canadian-style settings. A print of the 1923 film survives and has been issued on home video formats. --- Public Domain / Rights: Original Release: 1923 Original Studio / Distributor: Warner Bros.
