FOOTBALLS MOVIE
A HYMN OF HATE
Picture Play at Park Is Some
times Hackneyed.

In William Fox movie a mothers
love is equalled only by q fathers hate.
So "F'ootfalls." dropped yesterday in the
Park Theatre for an indefinite engage
ment. becomes through most OF its
course a hymn OF hate on the part OF a
country shoemaker who, one is led art
fully to believe. nurses thoughts OF
vengeance against vanished son, ac-
cused of the murder OF rival for the
hand OF the village belle. whose coquetry
sets the boys to swapping punches.
But that isn't exactly the course taken
by the fathers hatred-and that's where
this tragic picture develops a good un-
volstead kicL.
The cobbler Ii blind, which seems 70
be @ necessity ror a cobbler on stage or
screen. He identifies persons by their
footsteps, doing II so uncrringiy that he
calls to mind Mark Twain's story OF the
blind man similarly gifted who claimed
to be able to tell Baptis s tread from
a Congregationallst's For three years
tho father listens for the murderer's re-
turn. lured back by the bag OF money
he meant to steal originally, and after
the shoemaker has throttled the slayer
he shaves off his beard and--you'li be
surprised.
The scenario. adapted and directed by
Charles ]. Bramin from Wilbur Daniel
Steele's story Of the same name that won
tho o. Henry prize for 1920, Is some-
times hackneyed. with false close-ups
showing the actors patiently lashing their
emotions.
But the scuffle between the youthful
lovers and the attendant fre are rous-
Ing enough. and the trick denouement
gives a real filllp that Is worth yards
and yards of celluloid chin whlsker SEN
tIment and heart throbs. Tyrone Power
plays the part of the father with con-
siderable force. which may be partly at
tributed to his Samsonlike shock OF hair.
Estelle Taylor Is pretty. but inclined to
over net as the girl who IS the main
spring of the trouble, and Tom Douglas
Is too much In the prevalent mode OF
weekfaced heroes TO provoke anything
but a glycerine tear

Old Lady.

A rather fussy old lady In New Eng

a grievance. The good mans neck
bands were too long for her ideas OF
ministerial humility. and, after long
harangne on the sin of pride. she In
tlmated that she had brought pair
Of scissors with her. and would be
pleased If her dear pastor Would per-
nit her to cut them down to her no
tions OF proprlety.
The pastor had not only listened
patiently, but had handed over the
offending neckbands TO be operated
upon. She had cut them down TO her
satisfaction and returned the bibs;
II was the pastors turn.
