REEL NO. TITLE PRODUCER
For many days Jether lives in a Paradise of which Tisha is the Goddess Supreme. He showers her with gifts and his every waking hour is devoted to her. She is like wine to his soul.
Then comes the day when Jether's gold is gone, and he is conscious of Tisha's waning love. Driven to desperation he goes to the gaming tables and tries to redeem his fortune with loaded dice. He is discovered and thrown from the gaming room.
He turns to Tisha for help. But in the meantime a wealthy sea captain, laden with gifts,, has come to seek Tisha's smiles and favors, so she spurns Jether and orders him ejected from the temple.
That same night, in the midst of a great feast to Ishtar, Tisha orders the gates of the temple thrown open and the populace invited to drink and be merry.
As the pagan revelry, the like of which has not been known since the days of Babylon, is at its height, it is suddenly interrupted by the long-prophesied destruction of the wicked city. Lightning flashes, the earth trembles, the great columns of the temple and the statue of Ishtar itself are hurled to the ground, and the ponderous walls bury the frantic throng who but a moment before were making merry within.
Probably no other scenes in the history of motion pictures are more spectacular than these which depict the destruction of the Temple of Ishtar.
This excerpt was prepared especially for showing at club meetings, lodges and smokers. It contains the most voluptuous scenes eliminated from the Library version of "The Wanderer," together with duplicates of some retained. Exquisitely beautiful, awe-inspiring, and sublimely grand.

Featuring Ricardo Cortez, George Bancroft, Ernest Torrence and
Betty Compson
A vivid, thrilling story of those turbulent days just prior to the election of President Lincoln, when California was hesitating between North and South.
Because of his anti-slavery orations, Jack Weston, a picturesque gambler and dead-shot, has been marked for death by a secret society headed by an unscrupulous Secessionist Senator, named Glenn. But Weston makes a sensational escape and goes to Julesburg, Colorado, where he becomes a pony-express rider. There he falls in love with Molly Jones and becomes a rival of Slade, the unscrupulous superintendent of the Overland Stage Company. Slade has arranged with Glenn, that if Lincoln is elected, he will send a fake dispatch to California, announcing his defeat, in order to swing the state to the Southern cause. But Weston, a loyal supporter of the Union, is instrumental in frustrating this plan and saving the state for the Union.
The exciting inauguration of the pony-express service, and the progress of that first trip westward across the Rockies, will thrill every beholder. Another highlight is an attack upon Julesburg by a band of Indians and the rescue by a regiment of soldiers after the Indians had fired the town.
