38 THE MOVING PICTURE WEEKLY "Loose Lions and Fast Lovers" Two-Reel Century Comedy Featuring Century Lions (Copyright 1920 by Century Comedy Co.) /"•IRUS was the man about the farm, chief of police, sheriff, and everything imaginable in his home town. He was young and handsome and in love with one of his Mother's summer boarders. The summer boarder, Lois Neilson, had long forgotten whether it was winter or summer she was waiting for. The chickens (the feathery kind) were very fond of Ciiiis and when he slumbered beneath the haystack, they fondly pecked at his toes. Jumbo, the dog, chased the chickens and ducks and a funny situation occured when one duck turned back and chased the dog. A gem-laden boat docks at their port, and when two crooks come to Cirus with a hard luck story that they are taking things easy, he helps them inspect the town. On the same boat, some stowaways come to life and make their escape. These stowaways happen to be about six nice 'n pretty lions, with teeth and everything. They jazz up the tpwii, frighten everybody onto the stove in Cirus's kitchen and we leave the n to a roasting time, with the lions ready to devour the burnt offerings. "The Lion Man."

Telling Stella to wait, the Lion Man tosses in a note at Enlight's cabin stating that if the money is not left at a spot near the cabin, at once. Celeste's life will be the forfeit. Enright and Lacey replace the money in the box in which it had been shipped, as a plan comes to Lacey. He substitutes for the money an infernal machine, placed in the box in such a way that whoever opens it will be blown to pieces. This box is left at the designated place and carried by the Lion Man to Stella. Urged on by Bill, the miners have surrounded Westcott's cabin and are angrily demanding their pay. Westcott is trying to put them off until Stella's arrival, and is wondering what is detaining her, as she rides up. The men angrily take the box from her, and opening it, a terrific explosion occurs that wounds many of them. Now thoroughly enraged, and believing that the box was only a trick to destroy them, the men surround the cabin in which Westcott and Stella take refuge, pile brush about it and set it on fire. The cabin begins to blaze furiously, Westcott and Stella overcome by the smoke and heat, sink to the floor. THE BIG TWELVE ROBERT ANDERSON in "COMMON PROPERTY" By E. J.
