traditions in Shakespearean lore are to be found in this unusual motion picture. It is magnificently acted and lavishly staged. A production that no lover of Shakespeare, and no lover of motion pictures should miss seeing.
From its very start this picture moves with a swing and the sensation of suspense is sustained and accentuated to its climax in the end. A thoroughly satisfying Shakespearean screen production.

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.
In those days stories of witches and goblins found credence. Ichabod was a firm believer in them and fearful were the tales he could relate. On the night of the quilting party at the Van Tassel's, Ichabod, the ungainly, borrowed an old nag and arrived in what to him seemed great style. Brom was there too, handsomer than ever, on his fine horse. Katrina smiled on both. As the evening advanced, tales were told of the headless horseman who had often been seen near the little church bridge which Ichabod had to pass on his way home. Ichabod who had come alone grew nervous at the recital and was the last to leave. As he came to the "bridge his horse refused to go forward and Ichabod suddenly saw a weird black figure on a horse waiting near the bridge. His "who's there" went unanswered and his hair rose in horrror as he finally forced his horse to cross the bridge and then saw that the other rider was following and that it was the headless horseman himself! Madly he galloped toward home, but as he glanced behind him he saw that his pursurer carried his head in his hand and was about to throw it at him. As the "head" fell Ichabod was knocked from his saddle, but being uninjured he ran off thru the woods, while the horseman who was in reality Brom Bones enjoyed a hearty laugh at his expense. Ichabod left the neighborhood for good and shortly afterward the marriage of Brom and Katrina was celebrated.
A delightful story, clean, cleverly acted and of both literary and historical interest. It is recommended for any audience.
