Recreating History
A FOURTH educational photoplay production. The Glittering Sword, by the boys of the Altrincham High School, near Manchester, England, reconstructs medieval times in a most realistic manner. The film, produced under the direction of Ronald Gow, science master in the school, tells the legend of the glittering sword whicii gave powers of peace and war to its owner. Many knights were sent in search of the sword by the boy king, played by Tommy Hampson, but all were beaten in its recovery by a peasant lad who returned with it. The king chose to use the sword for war. Rather than have the land subjected to this evil, the peasant boy regained the sword and disposed of it forever. The characters were portrayed by the juvenile actors most satisfactorily.
Hampson received the praise of critics throughout Europe for his work in the Boy Scout film of last year, entitled The Man Who Changed His Mind, and the boy who plays the peasant in The Glittering Sword endows this character with both emotion and restraint.
Gow's direction of the boys shows keen insight into their psychology. Their construction of the sets used in the picture gave expression and concrete form to their artistic abilities and the historical and moral nature of the film, as interpreted by them, should prove stimulating and beneficial to children wherever the picture is shown.
