The Moving Picture World (1907)

THE MOVING PICTURE WORLD. 651 pair are made one just as Pa and Ma rush into the farmhouse, whither they trace the recalcitrant young ones. But, all too late, and making the best of the situation, they give the newlyweds their parental blessing.. Thus terminates the calamitous adventures of a pair of determined lovers. The scenes—the exterior ones being beautifully tinted for moonlight effect— aside from being intensely thrilling and dramatic, have just, enough comedy to lighten them. — Biograpk. who is borne on a stretcher, wounded to death. The Kalem Company this week put on the market the Roman spectacular subject, "Ben Hur." The scene opens with an as- sembly of citizens who are harangued by one of their number, whose words have great weight with the crowd, and their at titude of approval shows that Roman mis- rule in Jerusalem has reached its climax. Heralds now approach and Roman soldiers beat back the crowd to make way for the approach of the Roman Procurator. The scene changes to the home of Ben Hur, who is seen with his sister and mother on the house top. The cavalcade of Roman troops approaches, and to get a near view Ben Hur leans from the coping and knocks down one of the stones thereof on to the shoulder of the Procurator. This is seen and misconstrued by the Governor, who orders soldiers to arrest the inmates; they, after ineffectual .pleas and struggles, are carried off. Ben.' Hur is consigned to the galleys, where he is loaded with chains. Here he signalizes • himself by saving the life of Arrias, who publicly adopts him as his son and proclaims him a Roman citizen amidst the acclamations of the assembled' crowd in the forum. Now comes the scene in the games where Ben Hur is challenged by Messala, and accepts it, to the great delight of the citizens. The chariots and athletes parade before the dias and.jri due time are arranged, and the chariot race commences. Three times 'round the ring dash the chariots,,and at "the fourth fun \Ben Hiir comes out-1ihe'vietor'sahd is-crowned 'with the wreath, to the-great, chagrin of Messala, Next week's issues from Williams, Brown & Earle are: "The Sticky Bicycle." A bill poster is engaged sticking up a large notice on a blank wall. Two errand boys ate busily engaged watching the pro- ceedings, leaving their baskets of wares on the pavement. As the man, after using the paste, puts the brush back in the tin, he turns to straighten out the bill, and the two kiddies see opportunities at once for mischief. Looking around they see an old cyclist ride up, dismount, leave his bike near them, and disappear within a door- way. Seizing the paste-brush one recon- noitres, the other pastes the saddle of the machine. After the deed is accomplished they quietly go back, and replace the brush. The cyclist soon comes out again, and jumping on his machine rides off. He has not gone far before he realizes he is un- able to dismount! As he pedals along he calls for help, and to policemen and helpers generally he explains his position as they run beside him. After bringing him to a standstill, the crowd divide up, one side taking- hold of- the man's shoulders and the others clutching firmly the bike. A fearful tug-of-war takes place, and after a good long, long pull, bike and man part, sending each side sprawling. "The Re- bellious Schoolgirls." In a school for young girls the mistress finds it necessary to administer punishment' to one of her pupils. Leaving strict instructions for the class to get on with their work, she leaves the room for awhile. During her absence the youngster, who has sorely resented hei chastisement, harangues the class, and stirs them up to a rebellious mood. When the teacher returns, she is sur- prisedly knocked down with a form held up by numerous girls, who seize her as she sprawls on the floor. The leader obtains the birch and gives her teacher a goodly taste. Having had enough fun in this di- rection, they fetch a-large jar of black ink and pour, it over their unhaooy mistress And "A Letter in the Sand."
