CLASS 8— Dramas 194 REEL NO. TITLE PRODUCER 8153 Code SEKO Hands Up Paramount Featuring Raymond Griffith, Montagu Love, Marion Nixon, Virginia Lee Corbin and Mack Swain Raymond Griffith plays the role of the hero, a Confederate spy. His general tells him he must go west to Virginia City, the source of the Union's war finances, and divert the next wagon train of gold to the South. His experiences en route to the western city are exciting and varied, as he becomes the central figure in holdups, Indian battles and love affairs. He falls in love with two sisters, a brunette and a blonde, each of whom also falls in love with him. It is a surprising triangle, but not difficult for the clever lover. In obtaining the gold, Griffith is arrested for highway robbery. He reveals his identity as a member of the Confederate Army, expecting to be held merely as a prisoner of war. He is then informed that the war is over and that he is just a common robber. As he is about to make a quick exit from this world through hasty western justice, the girls save him. The picture is full of hilarious situations. Griffith will make you laugh, chuckle, grin and roar. An original story, with a combination of Civil War and western backgrounds, in which Griffith's rip-roaring adventures as a Confederate spy seem to prove that Sherman was wrong about war. Recommended for any audience.

At a tourist camp, he meets a girl and her aunt and falls in love with her — the girl, not the aunt. They mistake him for a notorious wealthy young bounder and leave without a word to him. He follows them all over the country and the rest of the picture deals with the straits he gets into, the money he is fleeced out of, and with his entering his machine in a big auto race for a $10,000 prize. The race thrills are tremendous. Never has the screen seen the like of them. Cars turn turtle, drivers are thrown out, there are collisions, spills, a fire, skids and hair-breadth escapes, laughs and gasps by the dozen. Driving his own car because a racing driver whom he had engaged, disappointed him at the last moment, Bill works from eighth to first place, drops back to fifth and gradually works to first again, in spite of underhanded tactics of other drivers. As his car comes down the home stretch, a little child runs out onto the road and in order to avoid hitting her, Bill drives through a fence and all but turns turtle as he comes to a grinding stop. Then he finds that he has stripped all of his gears except the reverse, but undismayed he backs out of the field on to his course again and over the finish line, the winner. And the race was not Select plenty of alternates
