36 THE MOVING PICTURE WEEKLY Tipped Off." Two Reel Western Drama Billy Steele Hoot Gibson Marion Ross Gertrude Olmstead John Games Jim Corey 100 Proof Ross Chas. Newton Rev. Sommers Jack Walters "PjUNDRED PROOF" Ross, a prohibition sufferer, fires his foreman, Billy Steele, for making love to his daughter, Marion. Ross leaves for town to receive a mysterious package and Billy and Marion decide to elope. They drive to town, intending to catch the first train. Ross secures his express package and invites two friends to an alleyway for a drink. The town marshall starts to investigate and Ross saunters down the street with the officer in pursuit. At the station Billy leaves Marion with the grips while he secures the tickets. Marion sees her father coming, and wishing to evade him steps outside, leaving the grips unguarded. Ross looks in vain for a place to hide his bottle, spies the grip and slips in the bottle, intending to rescue, if after he has placated the marshaill. Discovering that the next train is not due for several hours, Billy sends Marion to the hotel to secure a room. He walks by Ross and the marshall, carrying the grips, his fonner employer being unable to stop him on account of the officer's presence. Ross is released when no liquor is found on his person, and he follows Billy to the hotel, trying to explain about the contents of the grip. Billy knows nothing of the bottle and refuses to talk to the man who had fired him. In the meanwhile an escaped convict, in need of a change of clothes, waylays a circuit-riding preacher and forces him to trade. He also takes the preacher's horse and rides into town. The marshall has been notified to be on the lookout for the escaped convict and has a posse gathered. The convict scents trouble and, looking for a safe place to hide, finds his way to a hotel room adjoining Marion's quarters. Ross, still on the trail of the bottle, enters the room occupied by Marion, where he saw Billy deposit the grips. Marion hides in the closet and is not discovered bv her father. When Billy returns and learns of Ross's visit, he thinks he is being pursued by the father on account of a mistaken impression of his intentions towards Marion. He decides to find a minister at once to perform the marriage ceremony. In the hall he discovers the convict, who is trying to escape as soon as the posse has passed, and believing him to be a minister, Billy insists that he accompany him to the adjoining room and tie the knot. Many laughable complications occur before the situation is finally cleared up, the convict recaptured, the real minister rescued from his embarassing position and Biily and Marion married with her father's blessings.

Helen is taken to a hospital where Elmo instructs them to put her to bed and keep her there while he rushes off to the Wade mine at Thunder Creek, where the gang have gone to make good their claim, signed over to them by Helen. Helen gets away from the nurse, however, and follows up Elmo whom she overtakes. Some of the gang get wise to Elmo's coming, and block the road with a tree, but Elmo manages to overcome this difficulty. Ed Mondcrief, the Wade superintendent, is overpowered by the gang and they burn open the safe with the disk and take out the valuable papers hidden therein. Then they hide on a balcony above the living room, behind a curtain and wait for Elmo and Helen of whose escape they have been informed. The two revive Mondcrief, and in the midst of his narration, Stanton, Jim and the other members of the gang make known their presence. They are about to fall on them when Elmo seizes a bottle of deadly nitroglycerine and prepare to hurl it at the erimesters. In the meantime, the mysterious motorcyclist, ever on duty to safeguard the rights and well-being of Elmo and his friends, is waylaid by Picos Kid, member of the gang, who renders him unconscious and leaves him bound to a tree.
