A PEEK EACH WEEK

THE QUARTERBACK

This is the story: A bright, broad
shouldered young man arrives at Col
ton College which has not defeated its
rival in football in q (count 'em)
years. The boys give the newcomer
a rough greeting. He comes up smil-
ing, outwits the boys in the rival col
lege, wins the favored lady of the
captain of the rival football team, dis

onds Of play. o my. yes!-real heroes
do all these things At (movie) cor
lege. And that's the story.
Fortunately, that's not all there Is
to the picture. 1t has a lively, youth
full spirit, which is, despite a heavy
coating of molasses, somewhat collegi-
ate. 1t has also a little humor and
some football scenes that look au-
thentic. There is a novel and anus
ing stunt Of football practice with
milk bottles while our hero works his
way thru college.
Richard Dix plays the young super.
man. He looks old enuf to lead us to
believe he must have been a dumb
bell at high school to enter college Sc
late. But he does a good job and
catches the spirit of the young col
llegian. Ethel Ralston is the girl thai
teaches Latin to our hero. She's sc
easy to look at that this reviewer

THE SCARLET LETTER.

A slice of almost forgotten early
history of the American colonial days
furnishes the text of Nathaniel Haw-
thorne's 1.-THE Scarlet Letter." brot to
the screen in a brilliant and yet sim
pie manner by the famous Swedish
director, Victor Seastrom. 1t is a
banner picture for Sweden, the lead
ing man, Lars Hanson, also calling
from that country. Lillian Gish from
our own United States is the star.
This is a picture that is different
from the ordinary run, yet is not what
could be classed as super feature"
even though it is playing at a twice
a-day schedule.
1t shows wildly the intolerance and
bigotry of the colonial period. The
religious fanaticism of the puritans
is brot out to face the light Of day in
a realistic manner.
The opening of the picture shows
Hester Prynne, played by Lillian Gish,
being put in a stock for running and
skipping on Sunday.
As the picture continues we see the
persecution that our forefathers melted
out to those that did not live up to
their ideas of religion and morality.
Lars Hanson is the best bet of the
picture. The scenes in which he por-
trays his love for Hester, are really
fine.
If for no other reason than its ex-
posture Of religious fanaticism, it is
a picture that should not be missed.
1t has, however, other points in its
favor, namely. good direction and a
minimum of hokum.

In value. Lacking fire. they contri-

the new consciousness of the Negro

well to keep step with its strides in
