62 THE MOVING PICTURE WORLD gathers them up and gives them to the Salvation Army. When afr. Bill comes home to say that he Is wroth is to put it mildly. He fairly froths at the mouth with rage and anguish and finally rushes off at top speed to the Salvation Army headquarters, where he successfully passes the sentry and lands poste-haste into the refuse pile. He frantically searches through everything in sight, hoping to stumble across his lost wealth. Failing, he rushes away again to look elsewhere, but almost immediately after he has left t!ie money is found and a lieutenant and police officer follow poor Bill to return his money. Bill sees them coming out of the corner of his eye and he goes some. So do the cop and the lieutenant. Bill Is some sprinter. So is the cop. So is the lieutenant, but finally BUI is captured and bis money returned. C. G. P. C. THE FOSTER SISTER (Jan. 9). — A wealthy man leaves his orphan child in the hands of some peasants, while lie takes a journey In a faraway country. Tlie child thrivL'S and grows and incidentally falls in love with the son of her foster parents. This continues for years and years and finally the father returns and claims his child and wants iier to mjiny a young nobleman of his acquaintance, but the girl, with proper pride, refuses and finds her happiness in linking her life with the man of her choice. THE HAUNTED ROOM (Jan. 12).— Nicholas Willoughby Johnson Brown seeks a room in a onehorse town and in a weird hotel he lays him down on a rot of so-called snowy down (but which in realty is made of corn husks). Before doing this, however, he endeavors to divest liimself of his clothing. Removing his shoes, he is astonished to see them dance on the floor in a most exciting manner, and becoming desperate he tears off his coat and throws it on the .shoes, only to find another coat on his back. Thi,s funny farce continues along these lines. BIOGRAPH. A TALE OF THE WILDERNESS (Jan. 8).— In the wilds of the Kentucky hills two brothers, the elder an outlaw, view fi^m a distance the approach of a party of settlers moving forward to a new home in the vast wildness. The younger brother is overwhelmed by the sight of the pioneers, and, unknown to his elder brother, joins their party. The settlers build a stockade home and the outlook is most rosy, until the outlaw brother meets a girl from the stockade at the spring, he, of course, not knowing his brotlier is among the party. He forces his attentions upon her, which she repulses, rushing back to the stockade for help. The outlaw's influence with the neighbor lug Indians arouses them in his plan for vengeance. They attack the stockade, and when the settlers' chance seems hopeless they dig a tunnel from the back of the stockade to the hillside. Most of them have effected an escape, but among the few captured is the younger brother, so the outlaw regrets his action and uses again his influence with the Indians, hut with a different effect. THE ETERNAL MOTHER (Jan. 11).— The young couple are betrothed and later are married, and BO the days pass by, they happy and contented on their little farm, each helping with the other's burdens, until a restless, thoughtless woman appears and meets the man. He is possessed of an irresistible fascination for her, and so the grief stricken wife, whose love for her husband Is of the unselfish kind, feeling he would be happier with tlie attractive woman, makes the sacrifice of freeing him. He is divorced and married to the other woman, and later begins to pay the penalty. His second wife is ill, and he is alone in his distress, when his first wife, Ii\ whom is strong the spirit of the eternal mother, comes to him in his hour of need, caring for the wife and taking the infant after her death. It Is now that the man awakens to the realization of his unworthiness, and as the years pass he works out his redemption. NATIONAL FILM DISTRIBUTING CO. January 1, 1912.
