Louisa Alcott’s “Little Men” wil
be brought to the Peoples screen
next Monday-Tuesday. An it is
cast Frank Morgan as the stern
but kindly professor of “Plum
field” School for Boys in a quaint
spot in New England, back in the
year about 1780. Erin O’Brien
Moore portrays his lovable wife
The juvenile cast is assertedly one
of the greatest ever assembled in
Hollywood, including Frankie Dar
ro, Dickie Moore, Cora Sue Col
lins, David Durand, and many oth
ers.
The action of the story revolves
about the boy’s school, Plumfield,!
and the yarn starts about the time
two street waifs enter there. “Nat”
and “Dan” are the boys, and their
parts are portrayed by David Dur
and, and Frankie Darro, respective
ly. Things begin to happen around
placid Plumfield when these two
boys enter.
Dan ngnts with another boy,
and starts a midnight fire in the
dormitory full of sleeping children.
The lovable professor’s wife in
tercedes in his behalf, and keeps
him from being expelled, but it ■
isn’t long before he is in another 1
mess. His pal Nat, has been ac
cused of stealing a dollar, and al- <
tho’ Nat is entirely innocent of the '
crime, Dan is not so sure. He i
simplifies matters by hurrying off <
to town to earn a dollar and replace i
the one he thinks his pal has stolen. <
He is discovered when he attempts 1
to put the dollar back. Then, he 1
is accused, and not only expelled 1
but sent to the reform school.
Finally another boy admits hav- 1
ing stolen the dollar, which im- 1
mediate!'' vindicates Dan, but when 1
they go to the reformatory to re
lease him, they he has es
caped. However, the details of his
vindication, and the resultant hap
py ending should be seen and not
Tead, so we will leave it to you to
find out. It is an interesting story,
and a “clean” one.
Local members of the alumni of
Eastern Carolina Teacher’s Col
lege are sponsoring “Little Men,”
and you will doubtless hear plenty
about the advance ticket sale for
this picture.
