At Leeston
JACKIE COOPER IN "BOY OF THE
STREETS"
"Boy of the Streets," to be shown at Leeston to-morrow evening, is a stirring human drama which had the proud distinction of winning the "Parents' Magazine" medal for the best film of the month, and deals in a most frank and fearless manner with today's great world-wide problem of modern youth. The story, which is at all times most entertaining, centres around a youngster, a great kid with real mettle in his make-up, born in the tenements of a big city and fighting for his rights to decent citizenship. But what chance did young Chuck Brennan, like thousands of other youngsters similarly placed, really have, when his very home life, his companions and daily surroundings better fitted him to become "A Boy of the Streets"? How the lad finally overcomes all difficulties and becomes a credit to the community is told in a manner that will win the admiration of all.
It is a picture with a real moral— a picture every person owes it to him or herself to see.
