Refusing to be catalogued and classified as "a nice lot and bright," "meek," "Bohemian," "hearty and robust," and "swanky," the college girls retort with epithets and descriptions frank enough to disturb the most indifferent men. How disillusioned and perplexed must be the Freshmen who discovers a stupid Radcliffe lass or a Bohemian Wellesleyian. What tragedy and grief to find the Guide had erred. His weighty problem still unsolved where can he turn for guidance and initiation? The dank silence of his lonely room give forth no answer and his brooding only lessens his faith in humankind.

It would be easy to criticize the plot and the "acting" of the hatchet-faced lass and the Arrow-collar youth who take the leads and whom Paramount Pictures attempt to introduce as "Stars of the future," but to do this alone would give an unfair impression of the presentation. There is action, hard-riding, good scenery, fast shooting, and here and there a hard right to the jaw. Insofar as "The Last Round-Up" is a step back...
