48 PATHEPICTURES While she is talking to her lover in the forest the other man comes upon them and the two men light. The lover is overcome and thrown into the pool below and falls. Out of compassion the Great Spirit appears to the girl and tells her that she will become the guardian of the waters forever. THE SONG OF THE LARK (MM H.S., Ch.) 2 Reels An exquisite and appealing story of peasant France, with the motif of Franz Schubert's song. Marie heard the song of a lark and longed for the soul's freedom it conveyed to her. Pierre, her lover, believed that a woman should think in all things as her husband. The story deals with the conflict between the two personalities, and the ultimate happy solution when Pierre acknowledges the right of any human being to freedom of thought and the soul's development. Will Nigh Miniatures AMONG THE MISSING (M., Ch.) 1 Reel A French poilu comes home to his mother, a deserter. She hides him from his pursuers and then kills him with her own hands in shame and grief at his cowardice and lack of patriotism. THE GUEST (M., Ch.) 1 Reel In a Russian town, an innkeeper and his wife are gradually starving, because everyone goes to the other inn, where they have "American Jazz." The old woman, however, lives in the hope that one day her son will return from America. One night a man comes, who demands food and drink. He is well dressed and has plenty of money. The old man sharpens his knife preparing to kill the goose, but says that the guest isn't worth it. He sends his wife to the other inn for supplies. She learns there that the stranger is her son from America. Frantically, she runs home to save him and finds her husband wiping a bloody knife. She faints, but learns upon regaining consciousness that it is only the goose that has been slain. HER MEMORY (M., Ch.) 1 Reel A young man is disgusted with his fiancee because she is too modern. He leave-s her smoking and drinking with some companions and wanders onto the porch. There he tinds a girl sitting in the moonlight with neither a cigarette nor a glass in her hand. He is enchanted and makes love to her. The girl's mother comes and the young man discovers that she has paralysis that is incurable. In horror he rushes away, but the girl has the memory of the few minutes he has been with her to carry through her life.
