Herbert Eawlinson has outdone
himself, For breeziness, pep and gen.
uine likableness, his role in The
Scrappel, the Universal special at
traction starring him at the Strand
Theatre today, is a notch above any
thing preceding it.
The story is that of a young COL
lcge graduate from Dublin who
plunges into love and work with the
same impetuosity and the same re-
suits.
He is assigned. to build a skyscraper
IN record time. He falls in love with
Inc builders daughter on first sight
and tries to kiss her. The proper
rebuff he gets from her is timed with
o'her rehuffs he gets from Fate in the
work Of piling up the steel frame
work.
Two gentlemen of shady proclivi-
ucs conspire to wreak havoc in the
building and the lovemaking both.
lheE almost succeed, but man-what
mat Irish smile can do to an OBJ
stacle.
hdWnnSon gives the poliShed per-
iormance that his years of experience
read one to expect. Gertrude Ohm
s'ead, opposite him, Is charming and
iui Of vivacity. Some Of the love
scenes between the two have dis
tlnctly Celtic spirit.
EDWARD Jobson. William Welsh and
walter Perry handle the chief charac-
ler roles with excellent spirit, while
george McDaniels and Fred Kohler
are convincingly despicable in the
HeaVy roles. Al McQuarrie. Hal
