38 THE MOVING PICTURE WEEKLY "ELMO THE FEARLESS." Episode 3. "The Life Line." ^GAIN Elmo's great strength saves the day and Edith and he set out on their return to the camp. But Guy Hatherton, after hearing Dan's story of the wreck, sets out with Lucille to make a last effort to finish the business. A canoe takes them swiftly down the river. Elmo and Edith on the cliffs above, recognize their pursuers and Elmo ropes Lucille from the canoe and drags her up the cliff. "We'll find out who this girl is," he tells Edith. Guy is overturned into the water and making his way to shore sets out to get at grips with Elmo. Leaving Lucille with Edith, Elmo climbs down the crags to meet his adversary. Lucille, seizing her chance, attacks Edith, and quickly overcomes her. She now plans to deceive Elmo again and changes clothes with the unconscious Edith. Elmo beats Guy and returns to the girls. Lucille passes herself off as Edith, who in the meantime has wandered off in a dazed condition and fallen from the cliffs to the river below. Unaware of what has happened, Elmo accompanies the false Edith to the little lumber town, where he unexpectedly encounters Guy. Elmo decides to have him arrested for attempted murder. Lucille pretends to agree to the plan, but upon arriving at the sheriff's office, she tells Elmo that she has changed her mind and refuses to swear to the warrant. In the meantime, Edith has been rescued by a man-ape known as Jacko. The animal takes her to his cave and ministers to her. Edith writes a note which she gives to Jacko, together with her handkerchief, telling the creature to find Elmo and give him her note. Guy has persuaded Lucille to sign a lease of Stilwell's mineral rights in the name of Edith Stilwell. Elmo, completely fooled, witnesses the lease, after doing which he leaves. At this moment arrives the man-ape. But instead of gi\ing the note to Elmo, Jacko makes a mistake and hands it and the handkerchief to Guy. Elmo recognizes Edith's initial on the handkerchief, and also glimpses her signature on the note. At once realizing that Lucille has duped him, he attacks Guy in an attempt to recover the bogus lease and the note. The sheriff and his men rush to Guy's aid, and after a desperate fight, Elmo is overcome and handcuffed in the sheriff's office. Guy sends Dan to the man-ape's cave, with instructions to get Edith and put her out of the way for good. Elmo breaks loose from his bonds and makes a flying leap to a horse outside. The sheriff ropes him, but Jacko coming to Elmo's aid, attacks the sheriff, driving him indoors. Elmo takes the opportunity and escapes on a second horse. Guy and his gang now rush to a bridge spanning a dangerous canon, where they loosen the planks. Elmo comes galloping down the grade and across the bridge. The trap gives way and he is plunged with the horse down to his doom. At this moment appears the Mystery Man, who begins shooting at the gang. New Screen Magazine. No. 54. IJENRY WALKER of Tennessee has discovered a new and very profitable game, which is called "Go Seek the Hide." It is a skin game that requires no investment except time and patience, and ink, raccoon and bear skins bring good prices. The modem fairy godmother is Dame Fashion, for in her hand she holds the beauty that will transform any cmderella into a shimmering fairy princess— if she has the magic pass^vord— "money." A funny cartoon in which a dog and a pussy cat battle with boxing gloves; a close-up interview with the ferret, not the tax kind, but the rat's most deadly enemy ; and some laughographs that are found in the want ad columns of daily newspapers on the order of "Wanted— Front parlor steam-heated by bachelor with no children" — complete this issue.
