“ 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

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.
