40 THE MOVING PICTURE WEEKLY "SEVENTEEN YEARS OF KNOWING HOW" WHEN YOU ARE INTERESTED IN LONG DISTANCE PROJECTION OF MOTION PICTURES, THINK OF THE RECORD MADE BY Power's Cameragraph AT MADISON SQUARE GARDEN, NEW YORK CITY 300 FOOT THROW 34 FOOT PICTURE Nicholas Power Company 90 Gold Street New York City Three Reel Gold Seal Feature. Released Week of September 3. Lon Chaney "The Empty Gllll" Claire McDowell Here's quality for you, Mr. Exhibitor. Lon Chaney, who has played leads and heavies in some of the finest long features ever produced, has a strong part with Claire McDowell in "The Empty Gun," a story of the West. In rivalry for Claire, Lon shoots his partner and tells the girl "the desert got him." They are married and Lon becomes an express messenger. He hides a gold shipment in his home, gives Claire an empty gun (she thinks it is loaded), and leaves the house in a terrible storm. A stranger, seeking refuge, proves to be the lover she supposed to be dead. Later a robber attempts to steal the gold; the lover comes to Claire's rescue after she has attempted to use the empty gun. The robber is killed and proves to be Lon himself, the victim of his own villainy. A wonderful picture, tense and gripping. Book this through any Universal Exchange. I
