Moving Picture World (Sep 1916)

1890 THE MOVING PICTURE WORLD September 16, 1916 the wolf woman, none became a more abject slave than Bex Walden. In his boyish enthusiasm he sought to place her on a pedestal. When she tired of him, the blow was more than he could stand, and, taunted by the laughter of the woman, he took her dare and killed himself. Mrs. Walden, apprised of her son's infatuation for the woman, had gone to her home to plead for her boy. Before that she had sent her older son to rescue the younger boy and, he, too, had fallen victim to the woman's wiles. When Mrs. Walden reached the wolf woman's home, she arrived a moment to late. Her youngest boy lay dead on the floor and when a moment later the elder son reached the house, she realized instantly that he, too, was in the clutches of the woman. In desperation, Mrs. Walden turned to Adele Harley, a young woman of the highest mental qualities, to save her boy. Franklin had been engaged to Adele and the mother felt that in the younger woman lay her only hope. Adele offered to do her best to save Franklin and deliberately sought out the wolf woman and offered battle to her for the man she really loved. Adele made no compromise with the wolf woman, but appeared as her own sweet -womanly self and challenged the other to hold the man she now had in her power. Franklin at last saw the utter worthlessness of the wolf woman and turned from her. And, facing defeat for the first time in her life, she struggled the harder to hold him. When failure at last confronted ner, she gave way to a violent outburst and then fell, fainting, into a great mirror. The accident left the wolf woman horribly disfigured. The beauty which had made willing captives of the men was gone and with it went the power of the woman. Vainly she strove to exercise her control over her victims but they turned from her.

Miscellaneous Subjects GEORGE KLEINE. \ THE MISHAPS OF MUSTY SUFFER (No. 9 of Series 2 — "Partly Cloudy" — Aug. 16).— Musty holds down a job in Mole & Kittleton's dime museum. Musty seems to be the sole employee about the place, and whatever is called for by any of the patrons, he has to supply it. He is placed in charge of the cane rack, and, of course, cheats so that the customers get no canes. One irascible old fellow complains to the manager, who upbraids Musty for his dishonesty. As soon as the customer leaves the manager congratulates himself on having so business-like an employee. While Musty is engaged in an innocent flirtation, a lad with a ten-foot arm approaches the rack and deliberatly places rings over all the canes to which are attached the most handsome prizes. The boss is so incensed at Musty's carelessness that he forces him to stand up against the wall while he practices hatchet throwing, with Musty as the target. The idea of this pastime is to come as close to the target as possible without hitting, and the Boss's hatchet doesn't miss the target. The Arabian Knife Propeller appears on the scene and throws two dozen knives at Musty all at once. The blades stick in the wall so close to Musty as to form the outline of his anatomy against the background. Then Musty is called upon to operate the machine in the moving picture theater. He does so in a unique manner, having much trouble with the film, which insists upon unrolling, tying itself into knots, etc. Musty finds a way out which is satisfactory enough to him, but goes to sleep and the audience walks out after heaping their scorn upon the sleeper's head. Awakening, Musty feels the need of recreation and goes in for some more or less violent exercise with a punching bag. The results are not satisfactory, for in swinging at the bag, Musty collides with the boss, who has suddenly entered the room. His next occupation is "bally-hooing" to attract patrons to throw baseballs at the "dodging nigger." He gets along fairly well at this until a "rough customer uses a brick instead of a ball, placing the poor Ethiopian hors de combat. When the boss complains that this is the fourth one he has lost in a single week and selects Musty to take his place, our hero faints. THE MISHAPS OF MUSTY SUFFER (No. 10 of Series 2 — "Fore and Aft" — Aug. 23).— Musty visits the seashore, and takes upon himself the duty of sweeping the tide back from the beach. "Suddenly a golden head is thrust up through the water and Musty decides the owner of this crown of glory must be either a mermaid or Nanette Spellerinan.
