Class 8 — Dramas 105 REEL NO. TITLE PRODUCER Hale is engaged. The industrious people of the time are presented at work and play. Then rapidly the action changes and the dissension with England begins to assume large proportions. We are now carried through the days when to pledge allegiance to the Colonists meant practically gambling away one's life. The success of their perseverance is responsible for our present preeminence as a Nation. Through showing extensively the events which transpired, the play follows chiefly the life of Nathan Hale up to the point where he rendered his immortal speech, "I only regret that I have but one life to lose for my country." The story is full of self-sacrifice. Robert Warwick makes of Nathan Hale a character you will always remember. His sweetheart, Alice, as played by Gail Kane, will have your entire sympathy and admiration for her devotion both to him and to her country's cause. Her pride of over a century ago is shared today by all true Americans. Nathan Hale is a character which will always be an inspiration to his countrymen to accomplish "big things." Were it not for just such noble patriots as Nathan Hale, the present day United States would not be in existence. You will be given an opportunity to see just how great were the hardships our forefathers had to undergo in order that today we might be a free nation. 5428 feet standard length — on 6 reels Rental $7.50 8010 Code SACA The Wakefield Case World Featuring Herbert RawUnson and Florence Billings Four priceless rubies are stolen from the British ]\Ii:seum by the Krogan Brothers, international crooks.

One of them is blind from a shot by the elder Wakefield, who himself lies dead, stabbed by a dagger identified by the police as belonging to the Breen woman and having several previous murders also to its credit. Young Wakefield vows eternal vengeance and starts for New York where he learns that one of the Breen gang has been seen. On the steamer, but with identity unsuspected by him, are one of the Krogan brothers and also a young couple in whose possession are the stolen rubies.
