THE GODLESS GIRL

 

Pathé, 1929.  Directed by Cecil B. De Mille.  Camera:  Peverell Marley.  With Lina Basquette, Marie Prevost, George Duryea, Noah Berry, Sr., Eddie Quillan, Mary Jane Irving, Clarence Burton, Dick Alexander, Kate Price.

Judith Craig, the daughter of an atheist, forms a club called The Godless Society in her high school and begins to recruit members.  Bob Hathaway, a stalwart Christian lad, incites the students to attack the atheists, and there is a riot.

Grace is killed as a direct consequence of this disturbance, and Bob and Judith are sent to the state reformatory.  Bob and Judith are badly treated by the head guard, and Bob, attacking the grocery man, escapes with Judith in his wagon.

They are quickly recaptured and locked in cells.  A fire breaks out, and Bob rescues both Judith and the head guard.  As a result of this selfless bravery, Bob and Judith are returned to freedom, facing life with a renewed faith in Divine Providence.
