"THE FAST MALE, the sixteen hundred foot 16mm production of the Stanford Studios, the Amateur Motion Picture Club of Stanford University, is now being titled and edited. The picture is a rollicking comedy based on the conventional movie interpretation of college life. How the most beautiful co-ed that ever flunked out of college remodeled the countryfied and bashful freshman only to discover that he was the "Fast Male," holder of intercollegiate records on track and dance floor form the sinews of the collegiate comedy. Complications are produced by the rivalry of the football captain and the mystery of Wanamaker's (The Fast Male) presence at Stanford incognito." (Gale 456)
