"VULGAR FILMS." :

Super-Spectacles of the Day,

The other day I attended a trade show of a film version of one of my father's novels, writos Mr. H. Faricon in an exchange.

As a family man I was natural- ly interested to see how it would pan out on the streon. The novel, which has been very popular, con- corned a rake and his redemption through assoolation with a virtu ous'girl; tho period was madorn, the setting English, the treatment heartfelt and unpretentions.

told ma If anybody had before I attended that trado' show that somehow or other Druids and Joan of Arc und Captain Oatos had all got mixed' up in my father's story I should, have been as surprised us I should be to hear of Cleopatra in n film vorsion of "David Cop- porfield "or Ally Sloper in a flin! version of "The Pilgrim's Pre- grass.

But ab it wIES

In a wild attempt to make thei proceedings more impressive the with n management lod aff prologuenlled Sacrifical Throughs the Ages." You mast beliova me when I tell you that tableaux of a Druid virgin being] sacrificed, of Joan of Are being burnt, and of Captain Oatos bai ing frozen were served up as hors d'oenvre to the misfortunes of my father's heroine.
