8070 Code SANA The New School Teacher Burr
Featuring "Chic" Sale
Adapted from stories by Irvin S. Cobb
Professor Timmons, a well-meaning but erratic young man, has been appointed school teacher and is welcomed at a reception given in his honor by Mrs. Buck. Little Waldo Buck, her son, is one of the Professor's prospective pupils, and for all his innocent appearance, is their ringleader in mischief. His older sister, Diana, is engaged to marry Wales who is jealous if anyone else even speaks to her. Due to Waldo's activities the Professor has several embarrassing experiences at the reception, but he does meet Diana who is kind to him. With the opening of school the Professor's troubles begin in earnest and he is only prevented from resigning by Diana who asks him to "stick it out" for her sake. He then takes his boy pupils on a camping trip which brings him more troubles (to the great amusement of the spectator), and complications are introduced by the escape of a pyromaniac from a local institution, for whom the Professor is at first mistaken and who finally sets fire to the school building. Waldo is trapped in the fire, but is daringly rescued by the Professor who, having gained a point of safety with his burden, promptly faints. Wales seizes the opportunity to carry Waldo to his family and claim credit for the rescue, but Waldo himself recovers consciousness in time to direct the credit where it was really due. Wales leaves abruptly and Diana assumes the difficult role of life-partner to the absent-minded Professor.
An excellent picture. The portrayal of the Professor by the great impersonator, "Chic" Sale, leaves nothing to be desired. This is a refined, modern, comedy-drama of the sort we all want, and is recommended for any audience. 4863 feet standard length — on 5 reels Rental $5.00
8074 Code SANU Second Fiddle Film Guild, Inc.
Featuring Glenn Hunter, Mary Astor and Townsend Martin
In the little New England town of Spell's River, George Bradley, the blacksmith, with his wife and his son Jim, who ran the local garage, were eagerly awaiting the return from college of the older son Herbert, for whom Jim had a profound admiration and had always played second fiddle. Herbie, on his arrival was a little disappointing. He had grown quite superior and his attitude toward his family was one of toleration.
Jim was bashfully and awkwardly in love with Polly Crawford, the doctor's daughter. But he was not a ladies' man as Herbie was and he envied his ability to dance. Nevertheless Polly preferred Jim.
All his life Jim had let Herbie shine while he modestly admired with the others. But suddenly there was a brutal murder in the quiet little village and both boys had encounters with the murderer. The way each conducted himself was characteristic. Herbie even tried to throw discredit on Jim in order to bring greater glory to himself but the truth could not be concealed and Jim came out splendidly in the end. His fight with the murderer will make even a jaded movie fan gasp, and when he rescues Polly and asks her to marry him and she says what everybody wants her to say.
