The romance Of the school teacher
patriot Nathan Hale, which was made
into play by Clyde Fitch, has been
given photoplay form under the title
Of The Heart Of a Hero by the World
Film Corporation and serves to give
Robert Warwick new opportunities as
the chief feature of this weeks program
at CrandalIs Theater.
The story of Nathan Hale Is familiar
to every schoolboy, and the dramatic

departs very little from historical ac-
curacy In the main facts of the hero's
career. The love story that Is intro
duced, which was presented on the
stage by Nat Goodwin and Maxine FL
Hot, has only added interest to the play.
In adapting the Clyde Fitch story to
film purposes the scenario writer has
seen fit to discard the character of the
heroine's sister, enacted by Gertrude
Elliot. now Lady Forbes Robertson, in
the original play. and which was one OF
the chief features of the stage pro-
duction. In other essentials the story
