This transfor- mation from the gentle dignity of a knight to the glorlously irrepressible outlaw who robs the rich to give to the poor is done with a careful con- sistency that marks Mr. Fairbanks as a student of human nature as well as a past master of stunts. From that on, he is so joyously in for a good time with his followers that even those most familiar i gymnastic ability lose sight of Fair- banks in the personality of Robin Hood.

The Cecil B. DeMille'’s offering is well worth seeing. Filled with thrills and heart pulsations, it depicts the rise of a young district attorney (Meighan)—his heroic re- sponse to duty, despite the fact that he is prosecuting his sweetheart, an incident that furnishes one of the tense moments of the play.
