Directed by Francis J. Grandon. Gerald Gray is a well known artist who is tired of his fashionable existence and longs for real life. He takes a studio in a poor section of the city and poses as a struggling young artist. It so happens that he rents the room next to that occupied by a young girl who is all alone in the world and who is forced to make paper flowers for a bare existence. In the course of time Gerald meets Betty and is struck by her beauty. About a week later Gerald, while descending the rickety old staircase, fails and seriously hurts his ankle. He is forced to stay in bed for a few weeks and all this time Betty nurses him. When he has recovered he paints her picture for the salon. At last the portrait is finished and Gerald, to celebrate, invites the girl to a spree at a Bohemian restaurant. She agrees, although she is rather doubtful as to whether or not she will look well enough in her poor clothes. That night she dresses herself in some old family heirlooms and goes out to meet Gerald. She looks the picture of the modern fashion in her old cos <' IM EI \A/ IV1 A IM " TICKET CHOPPER Safeguard against having your tickets used over again and resold.

II).— The cast: Timothy Dobbs Haven ) ; Jeff (Robert Mil Mary I Vola Smith); leading lady (Min.i Cunard). Written by Bess Meredyth. Produced by Wallace Beery. As Timothy Is standing In front of a theater, dead broke, a couple of swell girls come along and go In. He has not the price to himself, but he waits until they come out and then speaks to them. The girls are happy when they learn that he is a real movie actor. He says that he would take them to lunch were it not for the fact that his car Is broken, and la almost taken off his feet when the girls say that they will take him any place he wants to go. So after stalling a few times he at last has to go to a swell cafe and order a dinner with During the meal he makes the mistake of calling one of the most prominent of the directors a doctor, but manages to get out of the scrape. But the shock comes when the bill arrives. Timothy has nothing in his pocket but a collar button, and it is quite a task to pay a twelve-dollar check with a collar button. But our hero is not at all daunted. An idea comes to him and he throws a fit to get out of paying the bill. The next day ho manages to get in the studio, and whom should he meet but his friends of the preceding day. And it so happens that they just need a man of Timothy's size to take a part, and Timothy gets a job. As a cowboy he nearly drives the directors to drink. But having started the picture with him they cannot change, and so it happens that Timothy at last sees his name in big type in front of a theater. He loses no time in calling up his friends, and they are delighted to go to see the picture with one of the actors who produced it. Outside the theater he bribes the usher to come in and call out that Mr. Dobbs Is wanted on the 'phone. This he does and the audience applauds when the actor rises. But the picture is the limit, and soon all the people come out before it is over. Timothy is now as chagrined as he was elated before, and sees the man take down the poster with his name on it. And to cap the climax the waiter whom he cheated out of the bill sees him and comes to arrest him with a policeman. But the intrepid Jeff once more rushes off with our hero, and so saves him from the ignominy of an arrest. LIBERTY (Episode Xo. 5 — "Love and War" —Two Parts— Sept. 11).— The cast: Liberty (Marie Walcamp) ; Manuel (Bertram Grassby) ; Lopez (G. Raymond Nye); Theresa (Maude Emory); Major ( Neal Hart); Rutledge (Jack Holt) ; Jose (L. M. Wells). Written and produced by Jacques Jaccard. Liberty finally makes Manuel understand that she will be his wife in name only, and as he leaves her, Theresa begs him to treat her fairly, but he repulses the Mexican girl. Lopez, having failed once to secure Liberty's money, determines to make another attempt. Liberty orders the horses saddled, as she is convinced that the best thing is to leave for the border. At Lopez's orders, Theresa, Pedro and Liberty are taken prisoners, as is Jose. Captain Rutledge and his men, meantime, have been attacked and are fighting valiantly, but are just about captured when Colonel Dalton and the cavalry arrive and turn the tables. Lopez has determined to gain Liberty's money and gives Manuel the alternative of either getting money and men with military training or lose his life ; Manuel consents to get the mnnev but Insists that Jose be freed as well as himself. Manuel tries to see Liberty but the guard will not permit this. Liberty and Theresa in their prison hut hear the voice of Manuel outside; Liberty knocks on the door and when the guard appears puts up a fight for her liberty, while they are thus d Theresa makes her escape.
