G S FORUM I Around the formidable old castle of Richard the Lion-hearted and the Vil lage of Nottingham in those palmy days of debonair knighthood, the most stirring scenes in the annals of mortal romance are enacted. Probably never before has a motion picture served Biich an enchanting purpose in "restating" the true basic principles of romance ns "Robin Hood" so adequately ilooa. The very spirit of what love meant in its most notnble triumphs lias been lifted out of the dim past and presented in this production which aptly can be termed, "photoplay at its peak."
