THE MOVING PICTURE WEEKLY 11 The High Spots ONE of the high spots on next week's program, besides the Butterfly, "Man and Beast," is "The Golden Bullet," a Gold Seal, in which Harry Carey does a couple of falls from his horse "Pete," which would cause thrills to a person suffering from total paralysis of the thrillcentres. Harry is shot as he rides to his shack in the mining country by thieves who are robbing his old partner of their carefully horded nuggets. He falls from the horse while it is self— an official of the U. S. Customs, and his daring and clever capture of a dangerous band of crooks. The picture has an unusual plot, and has been splendidly worked out by the young director, who is responsible for some of the best Red Feathers, and for the Butterfly picture of last week, "The Field of Honor." Another of his Butterflies will soon be released under the title of "The Reed Case." This was written, adapted for the screen and produced by Holubar himself. He also played the leading role. Scene from "The War Bridegroom." In Next Week's Universal Program going at full speed, and repeats the stunt on a particularly hard piece of ground in front of the town saloon. Another cause for just pride in the program is the Nestor Comedy for next week, called "The War Bridegroom," which was written by Eddie Lyons and Lee Moran themselves and produced by their director, Roy Clements. As a result of this picture there is an argument on between the Nestors and the Universal technical department, which is not settled as yet. And it ail came about over the zeal of the comedians to save the company's money. They were returning from location, one day, and saw that the Universal was spending many thousands of dollars in the construction of a sewer system. "Let's get up a story about a sewer and save some money on locations," suggested Edith. Then they made several scenes sewer, and during the rehearsals they removed a great many pounds of dirt, and advanced the digging of the ditch considerably. On their return to Universal City, they reported with glee to the technical director that they had saved a lot of money for the company. He then proceeded to make a charge to the overhead account of the Nestors for the use of his sewer, and a terrific discussion ensued, which finally had to be carried to headquarters for adjustment. On Wednesday, June 27th, there is a very funny L-KO, a scene from which is reproduced at the top of this page. It is called "Her Daring Caring Ways," and features Lucille Hutton and Merta Sterling. A most intelligent donkey plays an important part in the picture which is a screaming burlesque on the usual Western draymer, with cowboys, bandits, dance-halls, shooting, bears, reckless riding and all the things which go to make the real Simon-pure Westem what it is. George Bronson Howard furnished the story for the Rex picture, "The DoubleTopped Trunk," which will be seen on Sunday, July 1st. Allen Holubar produced the Allen Holubar in "The Doublepicture and played the leading role him Topped Trunk."
