Their wedding day 1b not far off, THE KEXT GENERATION (Oct. 25).— Vincent Strong, who Is acknowledged to be tbe greatest llTlng ahlp-deslgner. Is terribly Jealous of bis repotatlOD. He is considerably annoyed when bU brother apprentices bis son to him and asks blm to make him as great fls himself. None tbe less be takes Carl Into bis office and gives blm every opiK)rtunlty to learn. Before long Vincent Strong realizes tiial Carl Is dcHtined to be as great a craftsuian as himself, If not greater. He becomes uncontrollably Jealous, tbe more so when he realljws that Janice Barnes, the daughter of tbe president of the S. S. Company, and with whom he la In love, prefers Carl to himself. So egotistic Is he that he neglects bis Invalid wife, who dies while he Is courting Janice at a ilame. Carl sees Strong's design for a new ship which Barnes is building. He notices that It contains a serious flaw. He tells his uncle of this and shows how tbe mistake may be covered. Strong tells blm that be Is an Ingrate and Impudent upstart. Tbe ship Is buUt In accord with the faulty drawings. Carl rushes Into a directors' meeting of the company and tells of what he has discovered. But they will not heed bis warning. The ship Is launched and Vincent sails with her on her maiden trip. Barnes calls another directors' meetlnR and Carl tells them that the ship will never reach port, convincing tbem that he Is rieht. With drawn looks the whlte-halred directors sit around the office table anil — thinking of tbe thousands of passengers who will perish, all because one man could not master his egotism, and they were blind to the truth. When three days out a terrific tremor is felt by those on the vessel and she founders quickly before nil tbe life-boats can be gotten away from her. taking tbe panic-stricken passengers down with It. including Vincent Strong. At that very moment Carl Is signing a contract to become head ship-designer for the company, and he obtains consent to marry Janice. Tbe next generation has triumphed. SELIG. THE BRIDGE OF SHADOWS (2 parts — Oct. 13). — Francis Edmunds, a middle-aged banker, is perturbed over tbe newspaper headlines, "Floo<i Liossea In Ohio. That Will Hopelessly Involve Insurance Companies." He proposes to take Into his confidence the new bookkeeper, Edward Warren, and begin a vigorous campaigning In tracing the risks that he feels have been greatly exacgerated by tbe press. Night falls as they are still busy with the task, and he orders his bookkeeper to get a bite and return quickly. The latter leaves the office, and Edmunds Is seized with illness. He scrawls a note asking tbe bookkeeper to have the data of the flood risks ready for him later, and he encloses tbe key to his private office. He then leaves without locking the safe. The night watchman comes along, and. observing the ofiice in disorder and tbe safe door ajar, becomes suspicions. By the time the bookkeeper returns the night watchman Is more suspicious. Edmunds, on returning to bis home, rapidly becomes worse, and upon receipt of a telegram from his company, tellinc him "the floods have wiped us out." receives such a shock that It precipitates bis death. Warren, the new bookkeeper, unaware of the condition of affairs In bis master's house, tears up tbe note, takes the key, and then drags down all tbe documentary evidence in sight concernine tbeir "risks." As lie swings open tbe safe door, the night watchman . who has summoned a patrolman, pounces upon him as a thief. Warren protests and calls up on the phone. This Is futile, for death has dulled the eiirs of his employer, and be has destroyed his note of instruction. He Is helpless, but as iie has taken nothing, the Judge dismisses his case. This dismissal, however, is merely a sign for unending persecution on the part of the police. With the death of Edmunds disasters descend upon his house: his well-beloved daughter. Blanche, steps from affluence down to poverty. She Is not only broken-hearted over the loss of her father, but pinched by penury, so that she Is forced to battle for bread. There Is no work for the "unconvicted." BO that Warren stumbles along, shadowed by the police, and Is refused one position after another. In tbe interim. Blanche Edmunds has great difficulty In bringing herself to tbe changed <-ondltions. She finds that In her unfortunate sltnation she is left quite alone. The fleeing months find Edward in the bread line, but thrown out by the police. He seeks the friendly shadows of a bridge, looks over Into tbe dark, welcoming water. A woman, approaching, observes his action, and weak and wretched as she Is, saves the desperate man from himself. Then the pitiful pair limp back toward the city. The night scene shows a lunch-wagon by the side of till' street. Blanche comes In. supporting Edward, niKi spends her last dime that they may have food. They then trudge on their way and pass the opera house. She meets two of her erstwiille MOVING PICTURE SUPPLY CO. 542 Atlantic Ave., near L. I.

THE GOLDEN CLOim (Oct, 16).— Bob Walton Is apparently a very prosperous young broker, but when he asks Edltb Gates to become hl-i wife, her father Is a bit dubious about his flnani^es and reluctantly gives consent. Considering the fact that be la a broker. Bob Is very rareful. As be baa begun to build a home for himself and his prospective bride, he does not deem It advisable to act upon the suggestion of his brother, and buy stock in tbe Golden Cloud mine.
