Summary
It is hard to do justice to the vital feeling of the story of 'Tol'able David.' There are scenes of tenderness, love and pathos. The acting is superb, Richard Barthelmess and the supporting cast not wasting a gesture or omitting a single telling experience. A play like 'Tol'able David' should commend itself to everybody, and the Coronet must be complimented upon securing it for Hongkong. Film synopsis included.
