22 -THE MOVING PICTURE WEEKLY piMimition c o MA.YOR ENGENBRITZEN had a decided leaning toward women. Any one could see by looking at his wife that his taste was excellent, but for all that he yearned to be Mayor of Turkey. One morning when he caressed his wife's hand, thinking it belonged to the maid, he was in a lonesome frame of mind as he walked past a row of munition factories. His quick eye was taken by an attractive girl in trousers. She enters one of the factories. So does the mayor. In less than a short time he comes out all black and blue and bleeding. To account for his appearance he tells his wife how he had been injured in saving a baby, but that night at the moving picture theatre at which he and his wife are invited guests a picture is shown which had the mayor as the principal actor, and for its plot, what really happened in the munition factory. It was scandalous. E D Y CAST.
