(Reviewed by Louln Hooves IlarrlBon In Moving Picture World.) As a pIiotoilrnnin"Tom Sawyer" la bound to arousa high expectations and It la on that vory account no easy proposition, but the screen ver sion has been conHtructed with skill; the handling Is In fine harmony with the mood of the story, exquisite In soma of Its dotails, and Jack Pick ford responds to his opportunities so creditably that ho completely won a largo audience at the Strand (Now Vork) by IiIb performance. This is faying a great deal when It Is con sidered that a very largo number of people in the average audience are familiar "with t)uf rYnciplo" scenes In tho story and have formulated some preconceived Ideas of tho'lr own as to how It should be proscnted.

Tom Sawyer will, ncvertholoss, long remain a classic, endeared to our hearts be causo of the author's kindly soul re vealed therein. Tho atmosphere of the story Is most perfectly preserved In the scenes depicting tha gathering of townspeople at the meeting house. The solection of church and street; the care shown In costumes nnd the absence of theatrical exaggeration completes a delightful lMn-lon.
