Pathex Motion Pictures 25 DRAMA LEO MALONEV RUTH ROLAND FRANK KEEN AN Douglas Fairbanks in "Manhattan Madness" No. D 1 Three Reels $5.25 Steve Douglas, in New York from the West, with a carload of horses for the Italian government, complains to his friends that the metropolis has no thrill for him, finally wagering five thousand dollars that he cannot be startled. Immediately he finds himself going to the aid of "a lady in distress," and after a series of spectacular adventures, discovers that the situations were "staged" for him by his friends. His reprisal is startling. Fannie Ward Bessie Love in "The Sawdust Ring" No. D 2 Three Reels $5.25 Maggie, daughter of a circus ring-master, who lives only in her memory, escapes life in an institution on the death of her mother by running away with a boy as romantic as herself, to start a circus of their own. They encounter a "rival" attraction "join up" and give their act — a bareback stunt of Maggie's with White Bess, an old-time circus horse. But an accident spoils the performance and Maggie is stunned, later recovering to be recognized by her father, the ring-master of the troupe. Frank Keenan in "The Crab" No. D 3 Five Reels $8.75 Foster Borrum, embittered by the death of his wife, has become a hermit, called by his fellow townsmen "The Crab." In their village arrives little Ivy Martin, to live with her Aunt Jane, who, unknown to her relatives, has recently died. "The Crab," delegated to break the bad news to Ivy, takes the child with him and installs her in his home. A garbled account of a chastising he administers to her, brings him into court to question his fitness as a guardian, but when Ivy shows her love for him, the case is dismissed and both return home.
