"Bill' Franey apparently gets his real pleaHure in falling: on liiH ear and doine back flops that would break any other man's neck in "Out Again, In Again." He is number 13 in prison— escapes and gete a job in a museum. He is pardoned and the officers try to find him. Do tliey ever come up with him? R«ad the answer in the fllm. It's hilarious.
pORA RODRIGUES, the Universal recruiting girl, who already has almost 1,200 names on her list, and who is hot after the two thousand mark, made a triumphant appearance in Chicago on the opening day of the convention. Dora is walking across the country in an endeavor to recruit 40,000 men for the United States Army and Navy. So far she has met with wonderful success, and when the call come to her to go to Chicago, she was in Cincinnati in the midst of one of the most successful recruiting drives of her experience. She hated to leave, but the call of duty started her on the forced march (via Pullman) to Chicago just for a day.
She aroused tremendous enthusiasm in the Coliseum, and presided at the Butterfly booth for a few hours, where she received assurances from the recruiting officers of the Army and Navy in Chicago that her assistance would be greatly appreciated. In the short time which she could spare in Chicago, Dora made all her plans for a wonderful drive there later, when she plans to return to Chicago in the regular course of her march to the Coast.
As it was, the recruiting officers arranged a parade for her at the head of which marched a representation of the famous painting, "The Spirit of '76," and when she departed (also via Pullman) to Cincinnati to continue her interrupted drive there, the recruiting officers of both the Army and Navy in Chicago were unanimous in their pressing invitation to her to come back as soon as possible.
Cincinnati is Dora's "home town," so to speak. She has lived there for
the few years that she has been in this country and that is where she goes when she finishes one of her numerous trips about the country.

They were able to proceed to their homes after being given first-aid at the life-saving station. Miss Malone is supporting Harry Carey in a coming Butterfly Picture, directed by Jack Ford.
