THE HOOSIER
'SCHOOLMASTER
IS DELIGHTFUL

The Hoosier Schoolmaster" in
moving picture form is even more de
lightful than Edward Eggleston's i'm
mortal story in book. form 1t began
a run of enc week at Ye Liberty the
alter yesterday and was pronounced
by the big crowd last night as one
most appealing and intensely human.
The story Is laid in rural Indiana
when the Hoosier state was then the
western frontier. Ralph Hartsook, a
bookish man, who Is portrayed by Max
Figman, comes into this community
as the new schoolmaster The COM
munity had no love for schooImasters
and had the reputation of driving
every teacher away who had ever at
tempted to teach in the district. -
The schcolmaster takes up his
abode with the worst schoolmaster
hater of them all. Bud Means, six-foot-
two tall and with the reputation Of
having licked every schoolmaster
who dared to cross him.
In the Means family was a young
woman bound out as a servant who is
educated beyond her surroundings.
They fall in love with each other,
which gives rise to a sequence of rich
est comedy. The young woman is
played by Lolita Robertson. Comedy
Is also furnished In liberal doses by
the school room scenes and the jokes
which the backwoods boys play on
their teacher. Il
Although threatened on many occa.
sions IL he did not leave Flat Greek
that harm would come to him, the
schoolmaster refuses to leave. Ae-
cordingly coterie of bad men under
the. leadership Of Pete Jones,a crooked
politician, plan to ruin the schoolmas-
ter by fastening crime on him. He
is given bag containing $500 with
which to pay debt Jones substi-
tutes a bag filled with paper for the
real money bag. When this Is found
out the schoolmaster is accused OF
theft. Crowds gather and public SEN
timent runs high. A lynching party
is formed but Bud Means, who has
always been the enemy of the school
master, suspects crookedness and de-
termines to aid Hartspok He does
this by turning loose the horses from.
