REEL NO. TITLE PRODUCER A reporter who has observed meetings of the count, the girl and the secretary and the young son of the family, anxious to secure a story for his scandalous society paper, takes to following the various members of the family and in this manner trails the girl to the count's apartment. The secretary also having warned the girl's mother anonvmously of the meeting, hurries off to the apartment and climbs the fire escape to affect an entrance unobserved. When the girl has been in the apartment but a few minutes, her mother and the reporter seek admittance. The girl, in a panic, is thrust into a rear room by the count.. The secretary is on the fire escape outside this room, and when she is certain the girl is alone, opens the window and urges her to flee by means of fhe fire escape. The girl does so and the secretary takes her place in the room, just as the enraged mother, her son and the reporter rush into the room. The mother is naturally indignant that a person who would be found infso compromising a position would dare to enter her home. The son is the soul of loyalty, however, and sticks to the girl whom he wants to marry, even in the face of the incriminating circumstances. When it seems certain that the secretary must stand convicted of what ever people choose to think of her, the daughter comes to her rescue and confesses that she was in the room. Vindicated, the social secretary rewards the young man for his loyalty by accepting his love and giving him her promise to be his wife. Rental, $10.00 per night. DA-837 to 46 Betsy Ross World Featuring Alice Brady, Frank Mayo and Kate Lester. Around the story of the making of the first American flag Henry A. Du Souchet has written a patriotic drama of Revolutionary days which will meet with popular approval at this time. The tricks of suspense to hold the interest are not new. such as the rider with the pardon to save the falsely accused spy at the last moment, but they are convincingly staged and acted, and only the most critical of audiences will fail to be moved by the action, which has more than one good moment. The tale moves swiftly and is exciting at all times. Moreover, it is carefully appointed as to Colonial dress and scenes, the large number of exteriors required showing no traces of anachronism. Picturesque interiors have been furnished, and the entire setting lavishly staged and employing many supernumeraries, is no small factor in the attractiveness of the production. There is an excellent opportunity for the fine photography and lighting effects and both have been provided. Alice Brady, as the patriotic Betsy Ross, appears in an emotional role, and is entirely satisfactory. The principal support is in the hands of John Bowers, Lillian Cook, and Frank Mayo, all of whom are well cast. In addition, George MacOuarrie in make-up and in acting is excellent as George Washington. BETSY ROSS is recommended for all. Its patriotic theme and Revolutionary setting should be used in exploitation. Rental, $10.00 per night. DA-850 to 58 "The Lamb" ~^ Triangle Featuring Douglas Fairbanks and Seena 0?i'en.
