106 Class 8 — Dramas
REKL No. Tiri-i: PRODUCER
everything turns out properly, with the villain meeting his deserts, and brave heart winning fair lady.
This is a thrilling melodrama, very effectively directed and lavishly staged. The photography is beautiful and the lighting unusually effective and pleasing. The play is full of fights between the robbers themselves, rather than with the officers, and the thread of romance runs beautiful and true.

8011 Code SACE The Little Duchess World
Featuring Madge Ez'ans
Geraldine Alicia Elizabeth Endlebury Carmichael is the seven-year-old American daughter of Evelyn Carmichael, an English widow. To friends she is just Jerry-for-short. In the tenement live also the Dawsons, Grandma, Jim and his daughter, Sophia Dawson, who is of Jerry's age.
Jerry mails a letter addressed to Lord Carmichael in England, for her mother. Exacting a promise from Jerry to take care of certain papers, Evelyn, fatigued by her losing fight against death, passes into the Great Beyond.
When none of the neighbors wants Jerry, she is taken to an orphanage, where she makes a friend of Billy, another unfortunate.
In England, the crabbed old Lord Carmichael lives in solitary grandeur, surrounded by his men servants. He reads a letter from his daughter-in-law, Evelyn, in which she says his son is dead and she is dying, beseeching him to provide a rightful place in his household for his grandchild — and rightful heir. He had cast off his son when he married Evelyn. Lord Carmichael turns the letter over to his attorney, Thomas Bradford, who sails for America to bring Lord Carmichael's heir.
Jerry and Billy run away from the orphanage to see a circus parade, and overwhelmed by the spirit of adventure, they persuade Bill Snyder, owner of the circus, to take them in. Jerry learns to ride a horse, while Billy finds it hard and painful to become an efficient acrobat under Snyder's whip.
Bradford traces Jerry to the circus from which he takes her to Carnimore Castle. She is the first female to enter the household in thirty years. Lord Carmichael becomes furious. He had expected to find his heir a boy, and he learns to his bitter chagrin that Jerry is "only" a girl.
After due consideration with Bradford, Lord Carmichael consents to allow Jerry to remain, but she must wear boy's attire. He will not permit a petticoat in Carnimore Castle.
Jim Dawson arrives at Carnimore and presents Sophia as the grandchild of Carmichael, trying to substantiate his claim by presenting jewelry and papers which he had stolen from Jerry's mother. He is foiled in the attempt, however, and Carmichael, who has grown very fond of Jerry, is so glad that she really belongs to him that he allows her to resume her girl's clothing and the old castle after years of gloom again resounds to childish laughter.
"The Little Duchess" is an exceptionally fine juvenile play, and equally interesting to adults.
