102 Class 8 — Dramas KKKL NO. rni.i: producer the outlook for moonshiners. One day Corporal Jim captures a gang of three — two of them rough looking men and the third a young "boy." Then men are locked up in the Post jail, but the boy seems so young that they allow him to cat with them and also to remain outside the jail that night. Next morning they find all their prisoners gone, but right after making this discovery, the boy comes liack, and explains that he was forced through his fear of the moonshiners, to aid in their escape, although he later escaped from them and returned to the Post. To their great astonishment they then discover that the "boy" is in reality a girl who has been held in the power of the moonshiners and who tells them a pitiful story. The men are touched and decide to do all they can to help the girl and upon the arrival of Padre that day, they turn the girl over to him to be put in a sciiool where she will have good care and an education. Corporal Jim gives the Padre all his small savings to be used for the various needs of the girl, Mary, while she is at the school. The search for the moonshiners then continues and results in their capture, but not until after Corporal Jim has been shot by one of them. His recovery is greatly cheered by the letters he receives from Mary and the attachment begun under such unusual circumstances continues until four years later when she graduates from the school and the story ends as all good movies should — the young couple presumably living happily ever after. 1915 feet standard length — on 2 reels Rental $2.50 8003 Code SABO Hearts in Exile World Featuring Clara Kimball Young, Montague Love and Vernon Steele "Hearts in Exile," the novel by John Oxenham, from which the pictures have been made, was one of the big fiction successes of the year when it was published. The pictureplay is even more intensely exciting tlian the book. In the character of Plope Ivanovna, Clara Kimball Young has a role that calls for true histrionic ability. The part is a highly dramatic one, telling as it does, of the love, trials and tribulations of a young Russian girl who is loved by three men. One of the men, the chief of police, exiles the other two men to Siberia and Hope follows Serge Palma, the man she has married, to that hopeless locality. In the chilly regions of Siberia where the political prisoners of Russia toil through a tortured existence, love comes to the heroine in the strangest possible fashion. This is, throughout the entire length of its five reels, a pictureplay of truly absorbing interest. The manner in which fate plays with the three principal characters in this production is startling and thrilling. Altogether the production is on a particularly high plane. The scenic effects are exceptional, the cast is notable and the illustrated titles make "Hearts in Exile" a film play of extraordinary merit. Art critics who have seen "Hearts in Exile" declare that the film should be preserved in the archives of the national art institute because of the extraordinary beauty of the snow scenes found in this feature. 4703 feet standard length — on 5 reels Rental $G.25 To secure subjects of your own choice
