He faced trial with almost

guilty and take life Imprisonment.
Now Ghere would have you believe
there was a touch Of magnificent
generosity in that choice-one last
gesture of decency before he went to
the living death, gave up the one
permanent thing in his scale of
values-liberty.
Il really would have preferred the

level as if he were talking about the

But down in Florida I have
grandmother. She's old. She can't
stand shocks. I knew that if I died
in the electric chair they'd have to
tell her I was dead and sooner or
later she'd find out how.

Kleinhenz Is Winner
The winning review of John E.
KIeinhenz is as follows:

Kleinhenz is as follows:
Apparently somebody whispered to Cecil
B. De Mile that evolution is not a fit
subject to study, for that director has
fashioned in The Goddess Girl" Sor-
did film that literally forces its moraliza-
stions upon the audience De Mile also
exhibits a monotonous tendency to purify
our penal institutions.
Nevertheless, the plot is simple. After
a fatal riot caused by religious agitation
in high school. the leads of rival student
factions are sent to a reform school.
After experiencing many hardships, they
obtain their freedom by rescuing brutal
guard from blazing building. 1.-The God
less Girr' then renounces her atheistic be-
liefs and the inevitable happy ending is
assured.
Although George Duryea "a new conner
slightly reminiscent of Gary Cooper and
Lima Basquette 1.-THE Goddess Girl'') offer
satisfying characterizations. believe they
are a trif1e mature to be convincing as
high school students. Noah Beery's por-
trayal of the inhuman guard frequently
becomes farccal.
The settings, while not as lavish as De
Miles usual effects, ars grim and utterly
impressive. Many SCIENCES Especially the
'shot" of the young girl falling to her
DEATH indicate splendid camera work.
THE Goddess Girl'' has an apl. .opriate
musical accompaniment, and becomes
completely "talkie" in the final moments.
The voices of Duryea and Marie Provost
then register well and pIeasingly.
