Around the formidable old castle of

days of debonair knighthood, the most
stirring scenes in the annals of mortal
romance are enacted.
Probably never before has a motion

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."
