Tradition and Ideals the Intensities The romantic nature picketed by Military and Naval Academy ideals, the good old college spirit making rivals for the girl forget their differences the last minute of the last half and just in time to put the jrood old pigskin over the good old line for good old college. Popular music trying to supplant classical, symbolical ballet versus tap dancing, opera versus jazz, the big apple versus the waltz. Character Intensifies An ordinary seaman courts the chief mate's daughter, but the mate hates gobs because they are too much like himself, "love 'em and leave 'em." A socialite weakling is rescued from drowning, a fisherman tries to make a man of him, a charming lady's happiness resting on the outcome. Romance split by a question of careers and temperaments. The good for nothing brother, sister, uncle, father or brother-in-law sponging off the hero or heroine. The hero crazy over horses causing the family to mortgage everything in sight to retrieve his losses. The dubious tycoon testing the young man in love with his daughter with a mission all but impossible of accomplishment. Willful playboy inherits factory and to win girl must prove he has what it takes to operate a factory. The rich man leaving a large sum of money to each of two rivals, the one doubling the amount in a given period to receive the balance of his estate, and the girl. The timid hero who hates violence nearly loses out with the only girl. Incorrigible, excitement-craving boys and girls who fall in love with gangsters and gangster-molls and won't be saved from their folly. Night club kings and crooners who let success go to their heads. Ruthlessly ambitious heroes who engineer cruel business coups that ruin their victims, driving them to suicide, their private secretaries waiting patiently for them to discover their folly. Weaklings propelled by circumstances and a pair of brown eyes into the role of hero. Adoring debutantes worshiping movie stars, their worried boy friends hard put to cure them. 14
