The Moving Picture Weekly (1916-1917)

38 THE MOVING PICTURE WEEKLY Feature Releases in the Universal Program of Two Weeks from This Week Ruth Stonehouse in ^'A Limb of Satan.'' Gold Seal Three-Reel Drama Written by Elizabeth Mahoney, and Produced by Ruth Stonehouse. Released on July lOth. Wherever Nada got her name the orphan asylum did not stop to care. The only thing they knew about her was that she was a holy terror, and that every time she had been adopted she had been "returned with thanks." Ruth Stonehouse plays Nada and she produced the threereel picture in which Nada is the principal feature. It is called "A Limb of Satan," and you don't want to miss it. The superintendent of the orphan asylum was just about as tickled a lady as you ever saw when Nada ran away. But the big, punch in Nada's life comes with her first desire to do good in the world. What would you think if the very first act you ever did in your life brought you plumb up against a twelve-cylinder policeman and the children's society ? The court scene where this little drama is worked out is one of mighty real humanness. "Hearts and Flour." Two-Reel L-Ko Komedy. Directed by Dick Smith, under the supervision of J. G. Blystone. With Eva Novak, Bob MacKenzie, Charles Ryckman and Tom Delmar. If you remember the famous song, "Hearts and Flowers," just take it from us that this L-KO Komedy is nothing like it. Whatever the hearts are in it, the flour is real, and it is catapulted, spilled, tracked and blown all about the combination grocery store and butcher shop, in which this little two-reel whirlwind takes place. Bob MacKenzie is the storekeeper, and, of course, he has a beautiful daughter. There has got to be a beauty in an L-KO, or it wouldn't be an L-KO, and the beauty in this one is Eva Novak. Of course, she has two lovers, and they happen to be the butcher boy and the grocer boy. The struggle for her affections is fast and furious, and so depletes the stock of hams, vegetables, flour and ice from the refrigerator, that poor old Bob would have had ! to have gone out of business if he did not marry his daughter off soon. "Three Women of France." Rex Two-Reel War Drama. With Jack Mulhall, Irene Hunt, Adelaide Woods, Virginia Lee and Dick Ryan. Story by Bess Mere dyth, produced by Ruth Ann Baldwin, and released on July 12. That ought to be a very lucky day for any exhibitor if he books this film. It is a five-reeler compressed into two, and it has all of the punch, all of the pathos, all of the human drama which any five-reeler ever had. It is staged just back of the battle lines in France, and brings together the fortunes of three women who never saw each other before, but all of whom are concerned in the life of Lieutenant Raoul Renfret, who was brought into the base hospital dangerously wounded. One of these women is his wife, one is the girl who refused him, and the other is a Parisian demi-mondaine who reveres him as the only man in her life who treated her kindly. A wonderful little drama is worked out with the wounded soldier and the three women. "Double Suspicion.'' Bison Two-Reel Western Drama Featuring Neal Hart and Janet Eastman. Produced by George Marshall. Released on July 15th. Real red blood in this Bison drama, boys, and no mistake. Neal is the sheriff, and old Pop is his pal. Into their life comes Joe, a cattle rustler, and his wife. Pop is going to have a birthday, and without letting him know, Neal and the other boys order a present to be sent in order to surprise him. Neal goes to the express office after dark so that. Pop will not see him, but Pop is real wideawake that night, and he gets it into his head that Neal is unlawfully robbing the safe. No greater test of friendship could be asked of a man than that he assume the guilt which he thinks is his friend's. That is exactly what Pop did. He left his own handkerchief there as the evidence. Of course, Neal had to suspect him after that, and that is the significance of the title, "Double Suspicion." It's great the way it works out, though. You've got to see it.
