THE MOVING PICTURE WEEKLY MRS. JOE MARTIN in "Over the Transom." Directed by FRED C. FISHBACK (Copyright, 1920 Jewel Productions) CAST. The Hotel Clerk Jimmie Adams The Girl Esther Wood The Count Patrick Herman The Bell Boy Mrs. Joe Martin JIMMIE, the hotel clerk was original in the manner of his morning ablutions. His bed was built over a well into which he dumped himself when he felt that it was going to be hard to wake up. But after he was well awake he thought of nothing much but the hotel milkmaid, Esther. So engrossed was he with this fair one that the intrusion of Count Zeeplotinxophsky was regarded as a personal affront and a decided danger to his peace of mind. Esther's equanimity was also somewhat ruffled. She fell in love with the Count's moustache and decided to elope with him. But before he went the Count wanted to be sure of a dowry. The only one in sight, or rather in prospect was in the hotel safe. The clerk, the bellboy and the hotel detective were in the way. The latter was inside the safe holding the receipts in his hands. But he was asleep and even the explosion which wrenched off the safe door did not wake him up. Having secured the booty, and the girl, the Count ran around the block in his racing car and took a room in the same hotel. But the bell boy and the clerk shadowed him and at last drove him out. Jimmie followed him and the bellboy brought up reinforcements in the shape of the female fire department. The Chiefess discovered that the Count was her ex-husband, and all the comedy dropped out of his existance. "Over the Ocean Wave." with CHARLIE FROM THE ORIENT. (Copyright 1920 Century Comedy Co.)

But before the captain was up, most of the crew had taken shore leave. Charlie the Chinese cook and chief swabber was preparing to follow suit when the Captain appeared and he suddenly changed his mind. Just then Issy Smooth hurried on board. Issy was owner of the boat but he made the Captain a partner in all of his nefarious ventures as a means of protection. He had a plan to kidnap an heiress and offered to make the Captain a part owner in the reward if he would put to sea as soon as the heiress came on board. So Charlie was sent out to commandeer a crew. Charlie saw the requisite crew following the heiress on the boat, and threw the schooner into high. Everything was just lovely until the Captain saw the heiress. Then there was nothing but trouble. Smooth locked her up. Charlie got the key and locked the girl into another room while the two fought. Then the two searched the ship and as a last resort Charlie blew up the ship with a keg of dynamite, after he had taken the girl with him in a small boat. "Non-Skid Love." Lyons-Moran Star Comedy.
