G. M. Anderson in "The Making or Broncho Billy."
Broncho Billy says, "Where is this fellow Wilkes?" Wilkes has had a grudge against Broncho Billy ever since the first meeting, and has waited for an opportunity to shoot him. Broncho Billy sees the cowpuncher approach. Wilkes pulls his gun, but is not quick enough, and Broncho Billy shoots him in the arm. Fearing that the boys will lynch him, he flees on horseback to the sheriff's office, where he explains what has occurred. The sheriff gives Broncho Billy a revolver and locks him in a cell. The boys, hearing what has happened to Wilkes, go to the sheriff's office, break the door in and are about to capture Broncho when Wilkes arrives and explains to his fellow cowpunchers that he was wrong. Broncho Billy and Wilkes shake hands and everything ends in a peaceful manner. G. M. Anderson demonstrates his ability to use a gun to good effect in this remarkable feature. See him shoot holes through those playing cards !
"The Broken Heart," released February 7, opens with Mr. and Mrs. Keith and their son Paul seated in the living room of their home. The maid brings in a letter. Mrs. Keith opens the letter and reads that her brother is sailing that day from Yokohama, Japan, and bringing back with him a little Japanese girl which he and his wife have adopted. Some time later they arrive. Paul is infatuated with O'Saki San, the little Japanese girl, and spends many pleasant minutes with her that
I evening. He treats her as he would a doll. O'Saki San falls in love with him. Paul caresses her. That evening O'Saki San tells her new mother that she has fallen in j love with Paul. Later Edith Towne, Paul's fiancee, | arrives. O'Saki San meets her, but the little Japanese girl is forgotten when Paul sees his beloved one. Paul marries Miss Towne. From a window in her room the little Jap girl, with her heart overflowing with love for Paul, sobs her little heart out and prays to her God that He will have pity on her. Several days later this little queen of the land and of the sun and the cherry blossoms passes into another land from a broken heart. This is one of the most pathetic feature subjects ever released by the Essanay Company. Ruth Stonehouse, as the demure Japanese girl, plays the part with a masterful interpretation of this magnetic character. Bryant Washburn as the dashing Paul plays the role admirably.
"The Three Queens," released February 14, is another meritorious feature for the month. This is exceptional in its theme. It shows how a man who has been married for several years will sometimes neglect his wife and family for club life and all that goes with it. This is not only a good dramatic subject, but an important object lesson. Wilburn Blackburn, a man about town, a social favorite and a great club man, spends most of his time at the club with his colleagues. His wife, a shadow of the woman she used to be, is waiting in the early hours of the morning for her husband's return.
