The Moving Picture World (1907)

THE MOVING PICTURE WORLD. 673 English fighting pose again. Then Burns waited until the tenth round was all but over before he took it upon himself to chip the goggle-eyed gunnerman on the chin. "Just to win these ten bets and to give the films as much of a spin as possible," prints one paper. Tommy, how could you? The film was taken by the Urban-Eclipse and Kleine Optical Company are their agents. for disturbing the performance with his continuous "Oh, me, oh my," which makes everybody yawn and gap. You can see on his mouth when he says "Oh me, oh my." This is one of the funniest pictures ever created. Lubin this week sends out: "Neighbors Who Borrow." Mr. Jones is a good-hearted fellow. When one of his peighbors asks for the loan of the side- board and all the cut glass, Mr. Jones lends it to him. By and by all the neighbors ask to borrow something, until at last the house is stripped bare from cellar to roof. Even the baby has been borrowed. When Mrs. Jones comes home and sees the neighbors carrying away her household goods she makes them bring everything back, but oh 1 how this was done. Now starts a chase after the baby which is the funniest thing ever seen. At last the-baby is found and poor Mr. Jones gets his. "The Parson of Hungry Gulch." The parents of the young minister in their New England home are packing his .trunk in readiness for his departure for the far West. Arriving at his destination, he is hailed with great merriment and derision by the denizens of the place. One half-drunken cow puncher seems to find delight in an- noying him. While the parson is a man of peace he has not forgotten 4iis athletic training in the seminary and in a moment of indignation gives his annoyer a well- directed punch in the jaw. He then pro- ceeds to the interior of the hotel, where he applies for shelter, being followed by the man he struck. A young cavalryman en- gages in a game of faro with "Pike," the proprietor and. an all-around, gambler, and after repeated losses realizes that he has been cheated. In a few moments there is a flash of guns and the cavalryman sinks to the floor severely wounded. A lynching party is quickly organized, a rope is passed around the gambler's neck and he is dragged along by a cowboy on horseback. Arriving at a tall tree, the rope is thrown over a limb, and in another moment all would be over but -for the arrival on the scene of the "Parson" and Pike's little daughter, who has led him there. It re- quires great persuasion to accomplish his release, and through the assistance of a friendly Indian he is given a horse and rides away with his child, while the "Par- son" harangues the crowd, finally swaying them until they accompany him arm in arm from the scene. The next scene shows "Pike," who has been very near to death, in his rude cabin surrounded by wife and child. The "Parson" enters and finally suc- ceeds in saving one who was very far from the fold. "Pike" bows his head in prayer and promises to lead a better life. The final 'scene shows how the right man in the right place may work wonders. The "Parson" has actually captured the entire outfit "Pike" and his family enter. He is now a different man and promises to be a good dtizen. The "Parson" is the real stuff, with- them and all show their great affection for him in characteristic Western style.- - - - "Oh Mel,Oh My!" After a strenuous night, and very little sleep, Mr. Feinheimer js going to work, but "Oh me, oh my," he is so tired-. Every minute he has to sttetch, Rap and yawn, which gets him into all kinds of trouble. First on the street, then in a restaurant, then, at his office, and at last at.the theater, from where he is ejected In "The Need Of Gold," by the Vita- graph Company, the plot of the picture is laid in a mining camp of the Far West On a cot in a scantily furnished cabin a miner lies sick. His daughter, a very pretty girl, is attending himv^A glance at the cupboard shows the supplies exhausted; the money bag is also empty. With this* condition existing, and no apparent change for the better in view, the girl becomes despondent, buries her face and weeps bit- terly. Suddenly an idea seizes her. The Overland Coach will soon arrive, and by holding it up their suffering can. for the time being, be allayed. She tenderly cov- ers the sick man, dons a rough miner's costume, tucks her long hair under the slouch hat, and fully armed she looks the part of a truly desperate character. Cau- tiously the resolute girl makes her way to the trail, hides in the bushes, awaiting the arrival of . the stage coach. The distant rumbling of wheels warns her of its ap- proach. As the horses turn a corner the robber steps boldly out, and at the threat of death, forces the passengers to- alight and give over all money and valuables. This accomplished, the robber appropriates the horse ot a cowboy who has accom- panied the stage, and hurriedly mounting, rides away. But a few moments have elapsed when a band of cowboys, attracted by the shooting, ride up, take in the situa- tion, are informed the direction taken by the robber, and dash off in pursuit. The scene changes to a rough telegraph office. The operator with a coterie of hangers-on, cowboys, miners, etc, are swap- ping yarns when their conversation is inter- rupted by a clicking of the telegraph, "Overland Stage held up. Watch dead Gulch Trail," comes a message over the wire. All hands get their guns in readiness and leave the office to intercept the lone plunderer. Taking position near location designated in the message, the/ lie in wait. Shortly a horse and rider approach, and, proving to be the desperado, is captured by the vigilants. A few minutes later the band of cowboys appear and the culprit is brought before "Judge Lynch," where sen- tence is quickly passed and as quickly put into execution. The victim is led to a tree from which a rope is suspended, the law is about to take its course, when the robber's hat falls off, her long hair drops, revealing the sex of the felon. To the band of avengers the woman relates her story of want and privation of the sick parent at home, and the spirit of anger and desire to enforce their judgment whicb prevailed, turns to pity and determination to help the unfortunate woman. To the miner's cabin all hands repair. There, in- deed, is destitution and poverty vividly shown. The sick man raises his head, en- deavors to speak, but falls back on the pillow exhausted. The daughter -drops- 011 her knees beside the bed. weeping over their sad plight. The onlookers realize that extreme want alone has prompted such a desperate undertaking. The hat is passed around and liberal contributions drop into it Leaving the sorrowing girl at the bed- side of her parent, the money is placed on a table and the visitors depart. RENTERS!
