128 Class 8 — Dramas KEEL NO. TITLE PRODUCER the marshal as his former bandit chief and spurred to revenge by the Queen of the Dance Hall (Louise Glaum), who has been plainly snubbed by the marshal, he decides to "show him up" before the town; Of course, his friends in the Reform League are aghast at this new information, but the marshal, while admitting his identity and expressing his willingness to "give up" at sundown, expresses his intention of holding office long enough to make a prioner of "Arizona Joe." Joe tries to shoot him from ambush, but fails and is victim of the marshal's unerring aim. After having a few hours to think it over, the Reform League decides that a live town marshal, even if he is an ex-bandit leader, is better than a dead one, or one returned to jail. Therefore, they retain him as marshal and pronounce him friend. The marshal's romance reaches a happy climax, in which we all rejoice This is one of William S. Hart's best type of western pictures, and with due tolerance for the bar room and dance hall scenes as typical of a by-gone era, the average audience will heartily appreciate this subject. 3882 feet standard length — on 4 reels Rental $6.00 8055 Code SAKAR The Pinch Hitter Triangle Featuring Charles Ray and Sylvia Breamer One of the most popular pictures ever produced by Charles Ray. At his country home we see Joel Parker, the awkward, diffident, country boy, whose father has really succeeded in convincing him that he is absolutely worthless. His father sends him to college as a result of a deathbed promise made to the boy's mother, but refuses to give him even a cent of spending money. His college hazing experiences will recall similar experiences by many audiences. One sweet little girl takes his part and endeavors to inspire self-confidence in him. He makes the ball team from lack of better material, but is slated as the mascot rather than a player. His old father hears of the game for the championship of the rival colleges and comes to see the game, to which he is escorted by the little sweetheart, who hopes that Joel will distinguish himself. An excellent baseball scene is staged w^ith various preliminary plays, leading to the sensational final half of the ninth inning with the score against Williamson and their best batter crippled. W4th a man on third base, the Manager, in despair, puts on Joel Parker in the hope that he may make a pinch hit, bring in the man on third and tie the score The audience is on tiptoe in breathless suspense with two strikes and two balls, when Joel catches the entreating eye of his little sweetheart and, to the amazing delight of the entire audience, "lifts" the ball over the back fence and not only brings in the man on third, but enables him to make a home run, this winning the game by 8 to 7 for his college. Follows a scene of wild excitement, with the entire audience pouring over the grounds and carrying Joel on their shoulders from the field. That evening at the final ball, he tells the surrounding circle of hero-worshippers that the one little girl deserves all the credit, and in conclusion makes her happy by telling her the same thing — and probably a little more that is of interest only to two youthful lovers with life still before them. Clean, straightforward, college-boy story, with a sweet thread of romance For maximum enjoyment
