CLASS 10— Dramas 89 COURTESY TITLE REEL NO. of production. The experienced picture people all agree that the girl cannot act, but the director flatters her until her money is all spent. The picture turns out to be a dismal failure. With her fortune all spent, the girl is forced to take a job in a laundry. This film is not only an interestingly told story, but it also contains a valuable lesson for folks, both young and old, who may be "Movie Mad." 1 Reel Courtesy of SCHWABACHER-FREY COMPANY 6010 THE ANGELUS This film tells the story of a peasant lass, Catherine, and her lover, Giles. Absorbed in one another, they forget to pray when the Angelus rings. The priest reproves them mildly, telling them that a moment of silent prayer each day will frequently prevent them from making some grave mistake. Pierre, a former suitor of Catherine's, quarrels with Giles. The fight is stopped by the priest, who orders Pierre to leave the village. After the lovers have been married for a while, Giles learns that Pierre has returned. On his return home he sees from a distance Catherine talking with a man atad assume it is Pierre. Giles accuses Catherine of infidelity and is about to leave her when the Angelus rings. That makes him stop. He returns to Catherine, asking her forgiveness. The other man turns out to be her brother. The picture closes with Catherine and Giles standing in the field with bowed heads, exactly like the two characters in the famous painting. "The Angelus." 1 Reel Courtesy of METROPOLITAN INDUSTRIAL PICTURES 6011-2 BATTLING TRAVERS Battling Archie Travers is in love with Arabella Hawkins.
