8095 Code SATAR The Headless Horseman Hodkinson
From the "Legend of Sleepy Hollow" Featuring Will Rogers
Washington Irving's famous story in which we find those old friends of our school days, Ichabod Crane, Katrina Van Tassel, Brom Bones and the rest, in a splendid picture which would have pleased Irving himself.
One day in 1790 there arrived in the little town of Sleepy Hollow, a new school master from Niewe Yorke, an awkward uncouth man named Ichabod Crane. He was met by the school committee and citizens and sent to "board around." Thus he met the charming Katrina Van Tassel, daughter of the richest man in the community. But Katrina had many admirers, most favored among them being Abraham Van Brunt or "Brom Bones," a handsome dare-devil of a fellow who regarded Ichabod's arrival in a not-too-friendly manner. Consequently as Ichabod seemed to find favor in Katrina's eyes Brom laid plans for his downfall.
A delightful story, clean, cleverly acted and of both literary and historical interest. It is recommended for any audience.

8098 Code SATOR The Passing of the Third Brennon
Floor Back
Featuring Sir J. Forbes-Robertson in Jerome K. Jerome's famous story
To a dingy and sordid boarding house in gloomy Bloomsbury Square, London, peopled with mean-spirited and unhappy failures, comes a Stranger, seeking quarters.
The Stranger, by refusing to see in the scheming landlady and her quarrelsome boarders anything but the best, succeeds in calling out the best in each, and one after the other they become morally rehabilitated. Before his kind smile and understanding words their bickerings and meanness disappear. They grow more tolerant toward each other, and at the same time strangely happy.
Finally, when love has replaced hatred as the governing spirit of the household, the Stranger passes from their midst as mysteriously as he came.
The story is in a large measure symbolical, but aside from its spiritual message it has many humorous and dramatic qualities.
The screen is fortunate to have secured for the Stranger, Sir J. ForbesRobertson, the actor, who created the role and for eight successive seasons played it in Great Britain, the United States and Canada.
