554 THE MOVING PICTURE WORLD July 17, 1915 hears the noise of an explosion. She runs in with a gun in hand just as the burglar is dropping out of the window and shoots him. He drops to the ground. Stewart has been watching things from the garden and sees his daughter. He runs to them and arrives just as Arthur Graham comes up. having heard the noise of the shot. There is recognition and Mabel stands back in horror, thinking the man she was about to marry is the brother of a thief. James, believing he is mortally wounded, tells them of the agreement between Stewart and himself. Arthur corners Stewart and forces him to tell the truth of the matter. James is found to be only slightly wounded and some time later Arthur and Mabel come to visit him. Stewart pleads for forgiveness, which is freely granted, and the story ends happily for all concerned. NESTOR. THERE'S MA.XY A SLIP t.luly 1!>>— Three boys love the one girl, and when they all call upon her at the same time she becomes befuddeled and tells them to come back on the morrow. The boys leave and stop on the way at a cigar store. Neal makes a sneak back, but is missed and they chase him to the door, dragging him back. Next day they are all in suspense. Ben is a believer in the old adage, "The early bird gets the worm," and leaves early for the house. As he is reconnoitering around he sees a man tacking up a big yellow diphtheria quarantine sign nearby. He gets a brilliant scheme and stealthily removes the sign, placing it on the girl's door. He then goes in and pleads his cause. The other boys come around, see the sign, and retreat in haste. After hearing Ben's story of mistreatment by the boys the girl finally consents to marry him. Meanwhile, the health office guards have arrived at the house reported as quarantined, but find an error in the number, so take it for granted that the girl's house is the one meant to be quarantined. Thev surround the house just as Ben and the girl start out. They are halted at the door and ordered back. The same treatment is given them at the rear. Finally, in desperation, the boy, in order that the girl will keep her promise, gets her out the window and they make a getaway, closely pursued by the guards and the boys, who have wandered back to the scene. The old doctor arrives at his patient's house and finds the sign removed. He is in a rage when hi' learns that the sign has been placed on another house. Just at this time the guards arrive with Ben and the girl. The other boys, realizing that he has "double crossed" them, manage to lay the blame on him and the doctor orders him to be taken in and given the extreme penalty. The girl decides she didn't want to marry after all. and celebrates her freedom by taking both boys to the ball game, while her erstwhile lover is being cast into the dark dungeon. BEHIND THE SCREEN (Two Parts— July 23). — Mr. Christie and his company arrive at Universal City. Mr. Christie calls on the Scenario Department for a story. Next we find him in consultation with the general manager relative to the story which he has decided to put on, "Getting a Square Meal." Leaving the general manager, he rounds up the members of his company, gets his sets lined up, costumes for the different members, and they set to work on the rehearsal. The company is followed through in the making of each scene, the members all made up take their places, the action starts and the making of a "movie" is begun. The story is as follows : Eddie and his partner, Victoria, a vaudeville team, are in hard circumstances. Their landlady demands that they either pay up their board bill or no more eats. She calls on the janitor. Lee. to help her enforce her orders. The janitor willingly takes a hand and is about to handle them roughly, when Eddie resists. By this time they have arrived near the dining room, where a meal is in progress. Eddie gets an idea, and tells his partner and each sneaks away a different route. Outside they call "help I murder! fire!" and all the inmates, of the house run out pell mell. Eddie and his partner sneak back and voraciously fall to the meal on the table. The landlady misses them and one of the boarders says, "Let's look in the dining room." Here they find the missing couple and they are at last put out, but not until they have had their "square meal." The picture is finished, we follow it into the large developing room, see it developed, put on the revolving drums and dried, then all go to the company's theater where it is run. The director and his company all file in and take their seats. the picture is run and discussed. At the close the picture is taken to the cutting room and placed in its proper shape. We see the director cutting the film, then it goes to the pasting room, where it is put in shape for the final inspection. Again the picture is run. The members of the company are not satisfied and begin to blame each other, the camera man is "balled out" and they all lay the blame of the picture not being good on Lee. He is insulted and indignantly tells them he will quit. They assist him to keep his word, tell him it is good riddance, and in fact the members are about to give a miniature of the present European calamity, when the general manager comes on and asks about the picture. A sudden change comes over all. They insist the picture is the best they have ever made. The general manager is delighted, and as he goes into the theater, the "Nestor" company silently fade away, "while the going is good." VICTOR. THE WEIRD NEMESIS (Two Parts— July 21). — Inez Alvarado is studying under Prof. Raymond Alvarado, a celebrated student of psychology and hypnotism. She is engaged to Bob Duncan, a young engineer. Her sister, Dolores, is betrayed by Page Ulrich, a wealthy young idler. He deserts her and she hides her shame in the sea. Inez has no clue to the identity of her sister's betrayer except a kodak picture, snapped by Carlos in a spirit of mischief. Later she meets and recognizes him, and. finding that she can control him hypnotically, lays her plans to punish him. She breaks her engagement with Bob, but cannot give him the reason. She says "Long ago when a girl came to the altar as a maiden, she let her hair down. Trust me. dear, no matter what happens. Some day 1 will return to you that way." He is greatW disappointed, but promises. Inez lures Page on and finally leads him to the altar. Then as he ardently approaches to embrace her, she gains hypnotic control and, to his horrified eyes, she is the dead Dolores. Every time he attempts to approach her she repeats this action. He becomes frantic and tries to kill her, but even while he holds her by the throat, she changes to Dolores, and he flees from the house in terror. Bob reads of Inez's marriage and is greatly upset, but finally decides to await her explanation before condemning her. A lew quiet weeks at the club having restored his courage. Page again seeks to prey upon innocence. His intended victim is Betty, a pretty telephone operator. Inez learns of it and determines to save her. She arrives at the ferry just after the boat has left, so hurries to Bushy Point, near which the boat must pass. There, unseen, she secures control and as he turns he is horrified to see Dolores beside him. He starts back and falls overboard and disappears. Inez is shocked, but feels that it is no more than he deserved.

JEANNE O' THE WOODS (July 23).— Jacques Fournir, a Canadian guide, receives a letter from Hugh Travers that he is coming to spend several months in the woods, as he had done five years before when Jeanne, Jacques' daughter, was twelve years of age. It is decided that Jacques is to act as guide to members of the Canadian police, who are on the trail of diamond smugglers. Meanwhile. Jeanne, who is now a wideawake young woman, runs off with her dog to meet Hugh at the railroad station. The dog runs ahead and while in the woods is captured by the smugglers, who hide the stolen diamonds in the dog's collar.
