The latest in the March of Time series examines the sell-governing Boys' Republic at Santa Marinella near Rome, showing how the institution, founded by a kindly Irish priest, has done much to rescue boys from delinquency and worse. The film was shot entirely in Itaiy and the cameras have done a good documentary job. The subject follows a young boy named Carlo, as he comes from the streets to the Boys' Republic and in time is prepared for a useful life. Along the way there are little bits of drama as the boy at first resists all rehabilitating efforts.
