G OME on in, Denvere, and see the lir ole boat." Denvere accepted the invitation of Prince Ducker, pausing to gaze at his lovely wife on the way. The princess resented his glances and kicked him violently. "How that woman could love!" he exclaimed in rapture, rubbing his shin, They went down to the beach to try out the submarine model, and then back to the boat itself. Inside they started a little game. Denvere thought he saw a chance to get rid of Ducker, so he informed the cops that the Prince was running a little game on the sly. Ducker was hauled off to prison, and Denvere attempted to make the Princess his own. In the subsequent unpleasantness she was pushed into the tank and drowned. Denvere then seized her little daughter and set sail in his yacht. Ducker escaped and discovered the tragedy, and immediately changed his name to Captain Nebo, and set sail in the submarine. Denvere had a terrible time, as he was forever haunted by the shade of Princess Ducker. The little Princess was the only one who enjoyed herself, as she had a fine time on a desert island. One day a couple of guys dropped in from a balloon. One was a hero and the other a villainous sailor. Though she had seen hardly any men, the Princess at once fell in love with the hero. Captain Nebo was forever cruising in search of Denvere. One day he saw a rowboat in the offing, and exclaiming, "Go and find out who belongs to that magnificent yacht," he sent two of his sailors with their patent diving suits through the water. They came up on the island, where they found no less a person than Denvere himself. He had recognized the island, and. struck with remorse, had visited it to see if the little Princess were still alive, and became lost in the iunsrle. The two sailors came up with him just as he was explaining to the villain sailor that he was Denvere, and begging tobe taken to his yacht. The sailors return and inform Captain Nebo that his enemy is at last in his path. The Captain plans to blow up the yacht as soon as Denvere has returned to it. In the meantime the villain sailor has stolen the little Princess and taken her to the yacht. Denvere is continually haunted by the shade of Princess Ducker, and he really does not mind very much when the whole thing is blown out of the water. The shade of the Princess is blown up into the clouds, and comes to life again from the shock. She falls and enters the submarine, which happens to be on the surface. The doughty hero, who has sought the yacht to rescue the little Princess, and the little Princess herself, are just being introduced to Nebo, who recognizes his daughter, when the Princess appears. Nebo gives one look at her, puts on his patent diving suit, and goes out alone into the cruel, cruel MacQUARRIE TO MAKE BISONS. jy|URDOCK MacQUARRIE has been assigned by Henry McRae, manager of production at Universal City, to the company of which Neal Hart, well-known portrayer of Western characters, is the star. He will begin work in a few days on a two-reel Western Bison entitled "The Keeper of Hellgate," in which Eileen Sedgwick, the young Universal actress who has already made an enviable reputation for her daring in wild animal pictures, will play opposite Hart. MacQuarrie while affiliated with the Universal company several years ago, produced a large number of strong dramas which were released under the Gold Seal and Big U brands. McRae is placing every facility at MacQuarrie's command in order to help the new director make Bison photoplays of the highest quality.
