86 CLASS 10— Dramas COURTESY TITLE REEL XO. Courtesy of THALHAMMER, LTD. 6002 WHITE MICE PLAY SAFE Dr. Amos Rinker (played by Rudolph Scliildkraut) is the country doctor in a small New England town. The wealthy but hard hearted Ira Harding had donated money for a hospital. It is understood that Rinker is to head the hospital. Harding's son, Joe, falls in love with a penniless orphan, Opal Jones. Hearing of this, the father whips Joe until Dr. Rinker intercedes, thus getting in bad and losing his chance to become head of the hospital. An outsider, Dr. Fall, gets the position. Joe marries Opal and goes to live in the mountains. He is injured by a falling tree and Sard, Opal's brother, braves a blizzard to get help. Dr. Fall refused to go, but Dr. Rinker fights his way through five miles of drifted snow and saves Joe. Amos becomes reconciled with his son and daughter-in-law and Rinker is made the head of the hospital. This film is an interesting example of how many heart throbs, tense situations and dramatic sequences can be packed into one reel. 1 Reel Courtesy of RADIO DOINGS PUBLISHING CO. 6003 THE YANKEE CONSUL Dudley Ainsworth (played by Douglas MacLean) is rich, idle, and blase. His friend, Jack Morrell, persuades him to take a job for excitement. Dudley is sent to a steamship pier to get the baggage of the U. S. Consul to Rio Janeiro, who has cancelled his trip. The boat sails with Dudley aboard. He decides to masquerade as the Yankee Consul. On a street in Rio Janeiro, Margarita (played by Patsy Ruth Miller), passes him a note saying that she is in trouble and asking for his help. He finds her at the castle San Souci and she tells him that there is a plot to force her to marry Leopoldo and to rob the U. S. Consulate of a chest of gold. Dudley tries to save Margarita. After many hilariously funny escapes from destruction, he arrives at the Consulate and puts up a fight for the gold. This entertaining comedy-drama winds up with a big surprise and a happy ending. A feature length plot in one delightful reel. 1 Reel Courtesy of CRAIG MOVIE SUPPLY COMPANY 6004 THE FIGHTING EAGLE Featuring Rod La Roque and Phyllis Haver, this romantic costume play is built around the intrigues of Talleyrand against Napoleon.
