CLASS 8— Dramas 187
store. His longing for the open road is realized when he wins a beautiful speed car at a Charity Bazaar, throws up his job and starts for the great open spaces.
At a tourist camp, he meets a girl and her aunt and falls in love with her — the girl, not the aunt. They mistake him for a notorious wealthy young bounder and leave without a word to him. He follows them all over the country and the rest of the picture deals with the straits he gets into, the money he is fleeced out of, and with his entering his machine in a big auto race for a $10,000 prize.
The race thrills are tremendous. Never has the screen seen the like of them. Cars turn turtle, drivers are thrown out, there are collisions, spills, a fire, skids and hair-breadth escapes, laughs and gasps by the dozen.
Driving his own car because a racing driver whom he had engaged, disappointed him at the last moment, Bill works from eighth to first place, drops back to fifth and gradually works to first again, in spite of underhanded tactics of other drivers. As his car comes down the home stretch, a little child runs out onto the road and in order to avoid hitting her. Bill drives through a fence and all but turns turtle as he comes to a grinding stop. Then he finds that he has stripped all of his gears except the reverse, but undismayed he backs out of the field on to his course again and over the finish line, the winner. And the race was not all he won, for the girl said "Yes" and he and she decided to go on with their tour-^together.

Featuring Betty Branson, Florence Vidor, ddolphe Menjou, Andre Beranger and Lawrence Gray
The story of a young girl's efforts to bring about a reconciliation between her parents, who quarrel so much about petty matters that they finally obtain a divorce.
A young doctor friend tells the distracted daughter that parents are people after all and suggests she give them a "mutual worry," which she does in the form of a supposed infatuation for a movie actor. She is expelled from school when pictures and a "mash" note written by her room-mate are found in her room. The mother calls up the husband to tell him all about it. He promises to come right over, really tickled that she has called, for they are both really in love, though separated.
Betty, believing herself to be a most misunderstood young lady, goes to Dr. Dacer's office for advice. He is out and she spends the night there awaiting his return. Her unexplained absence provides the necessary "mutual worry" for the parents and results in a reconciliation.
