16 THE MOVING PICTURE WEEKLY "Now keep as quietly as possible and I'll hide up here." "The jig is up," said Jerry. Helen is amused at Schuyler's protestations of love. OME of the most remarkable shooting seen in recent pictures is a feature of the Butterfly Picture, "The Reed Case," for which the young director, Allen Holubar, is almost wholly responsible. He wrote, adapted for the screen, produced and played in the picture, and he made a mighty good job of it while he was at it, assisted by Louise Lovely and a big cast of Universal players. Ed Jones, the sharpshooter of Universal City, did some stunts with his trusty rifle which will make the fans open their eyes, and, just for good measure, there is some lovely woods and mountain scenery.

Helen Reed, the season's debutante, was courted by Schuyler Hastings, whom her mother favored, but of whom the father was doubtful. Helen, however, told Schuyler he would have to do something worthwhile, for the man she married must be some one she could look up to and believe in. Helen determined to go shopping and, bidding her parents good-by, was escorted to the taxi by Schuyler. Jerry found the cabin lonely enough, but was rather suspicious because of the darky's driver saying that it was haunted. No sooner had he arrived than a shot was fired at him, making a hole in his hat. That night he slept restlessly, waking suddenly at some peculiar sound, and dreaming of a woman playing a piano, and of seeing a woman weeping. When he woke
