8096 CodeSATER Luck Mastodon
Featuring Johnny Hines, Violet Mersereau and Robert Edeson
As the contestants assemble for the annual cross-country run of the Essex Club, Bob Carter who is "so rich he wears out two pairs of pajamas to one pair of shoes," watches them with indifference until Crosby, an acquaintance, calls him a quitter and dares him to enter the race. Bob takes the dare, but is soon hopelessly outdistanced. Just then he sees an elephant which had escaped from a circus approaching him, and under the spur of his fear he quickly passes the entire field and wins the trophy. Crosby calls Bob's victory just luck and offers to bet that he could not earn his own living, whereupon Bob bets he can earn $10,000.00 in one year without the help of his fortune.
From that moment his adventures begin in earnest and the spectator is in a state of continuous laughter as one amusing situation follows another. Bob gets an option on some land, starts to build a city, falls in love with the judge's daughter, wins her away from a rival suitor, rescues her from a mine, organizes a land company, and just as his year expires, sells enough stock to raise the $10,000.00 needed to pay his first year's salary as president.
Talk about luck ! Wins in business, wins the girl and wins his bet.

8098 Code SATOR The Passing of the Third Brennon
Floor Back
Featuring Sir J. Forbes-Robertson in Jerome K. Jerome's famous story
To a dingy and sordid boarding house in gloomy Bloomsbury Square, London, peopled with mean-spirited and unhappy failures, comes a Stranger, seeking quarters.
The Stranger, by refusing to see in the scheming landlady and her quarrelsome boarders anything but the best, succeeds in calling out the best in each, and one after the other they become morally rehabilitated. Before his kind smile and understanding words their bickerings and meanness disappear. They grow more tolerant toward each other, and at the same time strangely happy.
Finally, when love has replaced hatred as the governing spirit of the household, the Stranger passes from their midst as mysteriously as he came.
The story is in a large measure symbolical, but aside from its spiritual message it has many humorous and dramatic qualities.
The screen is fortunate to have secured for the Stranger, Sir J. ForbesRobertson, the actor, who created the role and for eight successive seasons played it in Great Britain, the United States and Canada.
