"Seventeen/* "Puppy Love," that frightful epi-j iemic to which the.vouth of all lands ! fall victim at. the tend age of sev-1 mteen, is one of the richest and most j fertile fields for the Pagination of j :he humorist. For that reason Booth rarkington's'great novel, "Seventeen,"' tias climbed into the ranks of the T>5st j sellers with phenomenal speed. It: cvas beca J6e of its world-wide appeal, I ind the fact that this story contain-! id so much humorous action that the \ Famous Players decided to adapt j 'Seventeen" into photoplay form for i :he Paramount Program, co-starring', L?ouise Huff and Jack Pickford. In j he role of Lola Pratt, the object of j iVillion Svlvanua "RaYtpr's rfoonoMiio i ove, Miss Huff renders an enchanting >ortrayaI. As William, the yo\lB* vho suffers from the overwhelming rnrden of self-imposed dignity whicb s common to his sex at the advanced ige of seventeen, Jack Pickford is vholly inimitable. The combination f these two stars and the delichtfnl omance that develops between th m. ] vith its numerous obstacles, make i his picturization of Booth Tarking on's great story a notable one.
