From the top o f N ig g e r R id ge th e “ Charm School for Girls” Saturday “ The Charm School’ ’ is coming to Moro T heatre this Saturday is a ty p i cal W allace Reid jazz picture and is duplicating the success of “ The D ancin’ F o o l.” The picture is genuine blues-chaser. Reid puts over a lot of good snappy action and ia well supported by L ila Lee and a c a p able cast. An added feature is the presence of a large number of young “ c h arm ers,” all under tw enty, who are the pupils of the g irls boarding school which Reid, as Austin Bevans, inherits, anil of which he makes him self principal. It is easy to imagine the rom antic com plications which results when handsome young man becomes principal of a g ir ls ’ boarding school and sup plants the old methods of academic instruction w ith lessons on how to be charm ing. The’ support is excellent “ The Brule M ailer” Tuesday Next Madeline, a cultured A merican g ir, receives urgent word th at she leave the tropical resort where she is w intering with friends and return to her fam ily in San Francisco. A rrangem ent is made by which she and W alter Max w ell. h I so a member of the party take passage w ith “ Bucko McAllis t e r ,” a rugged Scot who ia owner of a schooner plying between Frisco and the South Sea Islands. M cA llister rules his crew by sheer force of brute strength, and no sooner have W alter and Madeline come aboard than he puts them to work too One of the ships crew, hating McAl lister for his dom inating, cruel ways sets fire to the ship. The crew, thinking th a t Mac has perished in the flames, take to the lifeboats and arrive aafely at a sm all island inhabited solely by natives. In the meantim e, Mac has escaped from the burning ship and w ith the aid of a ra ft, has swam to shore. The story depicts the life of the p arty upon the island and how McAl liste r m aintains his leadership over both his crew and the natives.
