It is s gripping dra matic story, a human story of a mob of tough kids who reform. The “kids” are given good parts in the picture and everyone acquits States. This system, which was oii- himseli with distinction. * gmated at 4- k has been bor .owed by nearly every bther college in Texas and is to ether colleges and universities of the bargain made with the “kids” in Sut **- h * . regarding the stolen property they have brought to bin*, the “kids” ; i begin their prison life. The group of boys are sent to s reformatory run by.a grafting politician who uses methods of extreme cruelty to i: prevent wrong-doing and breaking of the rules. Ti.e leader of the boys defending one of the gang, gets himself in bad with the warden and. when thfoatened with a whipping from • .**<%-o-nine tails", he at tempts to escape. He is caught and given a thrashing. Here and at a very timely mo-, ment Humphrey Bogart ia entered i into the pictm^ not as a villain but as the hero of the plot. You will like him in this role as it ia' a new experience for him and he handles it very well. Hearing of the beating in the reformatory,: Bogart decides to do something about it and kas himself appointed assistant head of all state schools. His first action is to visit the school were the “kids" are held and to fire the warden, thus creating a very dangerous enemy. The second step in the reforming of the school ia to abolish the guards and wire fences and making the school a place for boys aad not hardened criminals. The picture then steps into the main plot of the story, that of the framing of Humphrey Bogart by the ousted Warden to show that the system of the school is all wrong and very inadequate. Using the “kids" as the basis of the frsme- up the warden gets them to leave the grounds then telephones to the newspapers the story of the boys tweaking out. The plan is nearly a success but due to the quick think ing of Bogart ends in a failure. This story grips you from the start, Mtouing very plainly the slums and the task a young set of boys make themselves by their careless ways. But it also shows what a little ajMpathy will do in the way of reforming a boy who is no| really bad and #111 do right if given half a shance. I believe anyone seeing this pic ture will come sway with nothing other than praise for the youngsters who make such a picture a success and for the idee behind the story.
