The Moving Picture World (November 1907)

564 THE MOVING PICTURE WORLD. The next apartment is that of a dress- maker—girls busily engaged at the sewing machines, one at a model-—when, lol there is music in the air. 'Tis irresistible. They rise up as one, commence to dance, and dance out of the room in search of the fountain of the soul-inspiring music. They are presently shown to dance into the pro- fessor's studio and join the frolicking crowd, all gaily dancing and the professor still at the piano. A police officer, passing the building, is attracted by the sounds of music. He in- stantaneously becomes frisky, and dancing into the building, joins the merry crowd- all dancing, although somewhat exhausted The professor has now about reached the limit and decides to stop, but is forced to continue, and his neighbors resume their dancing; after which the music becomes slower and slower, as is evidenced by the reduced time of the dancers' limbs, and gradually dies out—when the seamstresses, police officer, old couple and the diners fall in a heap, apparently exhausted, and the professor sprawls over the piano in a faint HARBOR PIRATES. The River Pirates are on the lookout for a ship. In the still of the night they board a vessel, enter the captain's cabin, bind him to the mast and force him to tell them the secret word which opens the ship's safe He refuses, but when his wife and child are threatened with death, he tells the se- cret word. The wife and child are bound to a mast. While the pirates are examin- ing the cargo, the little girl -frees herself, ascends the rope ladder, and waves the flag of distress. The harbor police, noticing the signal of distress, come to the rescue. The pirates are overpowerd, chained and led away.— Lubin. the owner of the machine and his driver are seen at work underneath the machine, making repairs. This is his chance, and taking advantage of his opportunity, and the young lady again transferring her affec- tions, she accepts the invitation and drives away, leaving the owner and his chauffeur without a word. When they discover the young lady has left them, they are not in a position to chase, as their automobile is disabled, and the vanishing pair give the laugh to the defeated rival, which he takes with no little grace. THE RIVAL MOTORISTS. "The Rival Motorists," the latest film of the Kalem Company, opens with a race for a girl. The young lady has evidently made an appointment with two lovers, who hasten to keep their tryst in their motors, and the first one is the victor. The girl eagerly watches both machines coming down the road and waves her handkerchief to the first one who stops, and after a little affec- tionate display the girl gets into the ma- chine and is driven off. At this moment the second machine comes up, to the chagrin of the owner and his chauffeur, who in his anger at being outwitted by his successful rival, starts in pursuit of the rival, with a view of intercepting him. Coming to a pass in the road where three contables are standing, watching for speed violators, he enters into an arrangement -with them to stop the on-coming machine, which con- tains his rival and the girl, and he pays the constables a fair amount of honest dollars to do the work. The successful suitor and the girl are stopped by the con- stables and the suitor and his chauffeur are taken off to jail, while the second suitor takes the young lady and drives away with her. The next scene shows the owner of the automobile being brought to jail, fol- lowed by his automobile and his chauffeur, who is also invited to step inside the jail, but he cannot see it that way; the chauffeur, seeing his chance to rescue his friend, pounces upon one of the constables and dis- ables him, and the owner and chauffeur make their escape. The next scene shows the automobile speeding away, leaving the constables gazing after them. The defeated rival soon overtakes the other motor, which, by the way, has met with an accident, and ♦'BILL BUTT-IN. "Bill Butt-in and the Burglars" is another of the Kalem productions. It shows a resi- dence, evidently left for the Summer, and two burglars trying to effect an entrance through a window, in which task they have succeeded. The.burglars having obtained all the loot they desired, are handing it out through the windows, when Bill Butt-in appears upon the scene and demands part of the loot The burglars laugh.at him. Just at this minute a policeman is seen com- ing down the road, and the burglars clasp a mask over Bill's face, and the policeman, thinking he is a burglar, takes him by the collar and walks him off to jail, leaving the two burglars to make their escape in safety.
