traVed with the *itids” in s second
picture, have dotw just that.
•‘Crime Schoor is portrayed viv
idly along the same lines as their
first picture. 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.
