The Billboard AUGUST26, 1911. PATENTS COMPANY. (Continued (torn page 61.) Ible and likewise dramatic. It baa been well directed and carefully acted and. while not a new tale. It la constructed In a way sufficient- ly norel to clear away any marks of ace. The ordinary gunplay and unconvtncable sheriff are omitted, much to the benefit of the produc- tion. HIS FIRST TRIP. Edison. Comedy-Drama. Released. August 16. Length, 1.000 feet. Some Tery excellent character work and .very natural business make this him one of the bear productions this company has released. The competition between two salmmen is the theme and the drastic measures adopted by one of them to get a certain order are the source of the greatest interest to be. found In the produc- tion. The two salesmen and she bellboy at tbe botef are Just about' as natural a group as could be found at any real hotel, while the events in the play are those which occur so frequently that no one couid question their ap- propriateness. The play Is nevertheless a new one. The Edison company. In the production of some of the better-played scenes in the play* hare pnt one over on all other companies In point, of naturalness. ttte ROUND-UP AT DAWN. Kalem. Comedy. Released August 9. Length 1,000 feet. This very improbable and In fact impossible mix-up is put on with all the seriousness of a dramatic production, but with all the glaringly bold method* of an ordinary dime novel. The people In the ptay appear throughout It as amateurs, while the director seems to have been at his first Job. The film Is a good example of a condition of too many releases a week, and an absolute necessity of turning out something, no matter what" It is. TTTP FLAMING ARH0W8. rathe. Drama. Released August 9. Length 826 feet. ' The story here gets its name, from a scene in the play In which a band of Indians, in attack- Ink a party of white people who have taken refuge tan stable or shed, shoot flaming arrows at then- enemies, and set their sued on fire. Much of the film Is consumed in showing long and tedious chase scenes, while the main point of the story, a love affair and its conclusion, is kept very much In the background all through the blay The Indian fight, chase scenes and scenery are all realistic enough, and the production has been well photographed. The storv has been an Inferior one to start with, and It has been pro- duced with either lack of faculties or lack of etUlT The story is thrilling, bot it la not logi- cally put together. UOtTELLT. C0HTOKTIONIBT. Length 138 feet. . Same reel as The Flaming Arrows. A contortionist of moderate ability is here shown In a rather abort performance. He is of a foreign stage, and is of interest more for his peculiarity of. manner than for any of the contortions he goes into. THE TRAMP ARTIST. Essanay. Comedy. Split reel. Released August 15. The tramp artist or rather the artist tramp Is here shown converting various advertisements, which have been placed on billboards. Into comic nosters. His work Is skillful, and If real would {requite amusing. The film Is not different from the ordinary vaudeville act of this nature, but it Is fully as good as any of them, sad deserves as a good half reel here. JUDGE B1MPR1 H S * STJMMER CODBT. Cora- edy. Same reel as The Tramp irf- K A rather novel film story ir pictured I • erd one into which a great deal of comedy ::..- .—• crowded. The summer court Is an u- yj- f of the country judge who could not --.r.-.<i • heat Indoors, and has moved out anii-- - — While the members of the court are - -.-<- assist a neighbor in moving bis corn — party of tramps seize upon the court ft.;.;..uw and authority, and proceed to arrest and fine speeding automobnists, whether they are over- speeding or not. The affair ends In an exciting scene, wherein the tramps are captured by the real court and brought to justice. The make-up of the tramps and their foolish actions are sources of much amusement, the splendid photo- graphy giving a clear view of both. THE (REGENERATION OF AN APACHE HID. Sell*. Drama. Released August 15. Length 1 QUO feet. A very Interesting story of the life of an out- east "Is here pictured, along with his- death ip- a very dram/tie way. The story tells of the Kid 8 rescue from a fire, and adoption by Indians, who raise him up to be an outlaw. Later on bis adoption, really by a woman who plans to re- generate him. results In the awakening of bis better nature and his falling in love with his benefactress. The author's manner of disposing of him in order to prevent his marriage to the girl is rather drastic, suicide, but it is In keep- ing with the nature of the Apache, and very likely quite natural. The play shows the deeper emotions of the Westerners, and although battle scenes are Introduced, they are not relied upon to produce the dramatic effect of the -roduction. The play Is carefully acted and well directed, while the photography Is beyond reproach. FILMS FOR SALE—Large stock of second-hand Maying Picture Films, In good condition. Some goat reels at $5.
