Directed by Reginald Barker. Shell Forty-Three" is a unique narrative of cunning in the European war. It concerns the adventures of a young man of mystery who possesses papers which prove him to be the correspondent of a big American newspaper ; others establishing him as a German secret service agent, and still others vouching for his commission as a lieutenant in the English army. The secret of his mission is not divulged until the last scene, when the veil of mystery enshrouding his identity is lifted and he is shown in his true light. and carries out the mystery idea with almost uncanny cleverness. The romantic elements of the story are handled most capably by Enid Markey, who, as Adrienne von Altman, plays, at times and unwitting ally to the man of mystery and at other times proves an almost unsurmountable stumbling block to the fulfillment There are no end of remarkable lighting effects employed in the story and some of the .1 devices employed by the man of mystery are truly marvels of ingenuity. In many of the big scenes of the story, virtually all the accoutrements of modern i fare are shown in action and as an elabot; of the wonderful spy system employed ' tending forces in any great , the story is particularly interesting?\ GEORGE KLEINE. THE MISHAPS OP MISTY SUFFER (No. S of Series 2 — "Active Service" — Aug. 9). — Musty springs up through the ground into the town of "While-f-Wait" and soon finds the village is aptly named. He first visits a restaurant where meals are served "while-u-wait" and one doesn't have to wait long either. A chicken dinner is shot into our hero's anatomy by means of a giant hypodermic and "a side of peas' is, administered with a gun. At a cleaning establishment Musty is run through a cleaning and pressing machine, clothes and all, and although the process almost kills him his clothes are pressed all right, all right. Even wives are provided in short order in the town of "While-U-Wait." Quality is sacrificed to speed, and Musty finds he has picked a lemon in the garden of love. Consequently, he gives his bride the slip, after they had a wedding photograph taken, which is spoiled by the too vigorous explosion of the flashlight sign offering to furnish corespondents 'While-u-w.ait,'' and picks out the prettiest one.

Author, George Allan England. Director, Paul Scardon. To help his lather out of serious financial difficulties Arthur Mansfield, assistant cashier in a bank, makes a false entry in his book, but then, when he conies to take the money, his nerve falls him and his honest character revolts agal&st the robbery. Tearing the page from his book, he rushes to the desk of Slayton, the cashn r, explains the whole matter to him and begs leniency. Slayton, himself, heavily in debt because of indiscreet speculation, sees in Mansfield s confession a chance to get out of his own \: . . --.• furtherance of his own ends. He keeps the page containing the false entry and that night, disguised, goes to the bank. His key readily admits him and he goes hastily to the vault, where, while he is removing the amount necessary to help him out of his difficulty, lie is interrupted by the approach of the watchman, who, on his round, had found signs of another's presence in the bank. In a trap, Slayton hides behind the door of the vault, but the watchman comes right toward him, and, fearing discovery, Slayton draws his revolver and fires. The watchman topples over, dead, and in insane dread of the consequences of his crime, Slayton works feverishly to remove all traces of his guilt. He replaces the page with the false entry in Mansfield's book, pries his own desk open with Mansfield's letter opener and throws it upon the floor — a button which Mansfield had torn from his coat that afternoon he places on the dead body. Slayton is the first examined by the Coroner's jury, and during his examination he succeeds, by reference to the false entry, and other evidence which he has scattered about, in casting suspicion on Mansfield. The latter is taken into custody, a verdict of guilty is soon found against him and he is sentenced to life imprisonment. Enid, daughter of the bank Dresident, who had been engaged to Mansfield, is forced by her father to sever connections with him, but still retains her faith in his innocence. When Mansfield has been in prison for a few months, Slayton visits him out of curiosity, but the burst of anger which Mansfield exhibits sends him away in panic, fearing lest the convict escape and seek vengeance. In a very short time, Mansfield does escape, and going straight to Slayton's house, where, the next day, the latter is found dead. The papers proclaim Mansfield as the murderer and a large reward is offered for his capture. Mansfield turns up the next morning at the District Attorney's office, and presents Slayton's signed confession proving that he was innocent of both crimes. He is reinstated to his former position in the bank, and also claims the position he has always held in the heart of faithful Enid.
