This release contains material of the greatest appeal and interest. The main feature shows how the members of the New York police force are trained to their duties before they are entrusted with the duty of guarding the safety of the citizens of the greatest city. The course of training includes a thorough knowledge of the art of jiu jitsu that enables a comparatively weak person to overcome a much stronger one, methods of fire rescue, traffic regulation, the stopping of runaways, and a number of other interesting and often thrilling details that are everyday matters in the life of one of New York's "finest." The same number of the Pietographs also contains another of the inimitable Sam Lloyd puzzles, and a series of interesting views of the scientific stock-breeding farm at the Purdue University, a subject of considerable interest at this time, when the conservation of food is one of the principal topics of the day. CHRISTIE FILM CO. WON IN A CABARET (July 30).— The east: The Girl (Betty Compson) ; The Boy (Neal Burns) ; His Father (Harry Rattenberry) ; His Rival (Eddie Barry). After another wild night, Neal is found in bed late the next morning by his father, who reads in the paper of a riot at the waiters' ball, caused by Neal. In anger the father cuts off his allowance, turns him out and advises him to hunt a job. Neal's sanctimonious rival, Eddie, also reads the item in the paper and rushes off to show it to Betty. Neal arrives on the scene in time to prevent the exposure of his shortcomings, and eventually secures a position as a waiter in the High Life Cafe. In the afternoon Betty asks Neal to take her to the High Life, and he pleads a business engagement. That evening, however, Betty visits the cafe with Eddie and another couple, and the party are given seats at the luckless Neal's table. He disguises himself with a false moustache and takes their order, but later removes the moustache and joins the party, entirely crowding out Eddie. After enjoying an elaborate dinner and the cabaret entertainment, Neal withdraws, puts on his disguise and presents the staggering bill to Eddie. Betty discovers that she has lost her purse, and the new waiter is suspected. He is brought face to face with Betty, and in an unlucky moment sneezes so hard that his moustache falls off. Eddie's joy at Neal's unmasking, however, is turned to sorrow when he perceives that Betty still prefers Neal. FOX FILM CORP.

A SOFT TENDERFOOT (Foxfllm ComedyTwo Parts — Aug 4). — The cast: The Tenderfoot (Tom Mix) ; His Uncle (Pat Chrisman) ; The Ward (Victoria Forde) ; The Villain (Sid Jordan) ; Negro Valet (Billy Mason). Directed by Tom Mix. Tom Mix has the role of an eastern college youth who knows nothing of the wild life of a ranch, and very little of anything else. After he is graduated — the university eventually tires of the sight of him — he gets word from his uncle that the thing he, Tom, has long feared has come to pass : His uncle has found work for him. This solicitous relative informs his nephew that if he manages his ranch for a stated time, and the ranch is still there at the end of the period set, the uncle will make him a present of the land. Tom determines to go West in real style, so he engages a valet and starts out. Meantime, the superintendent on the ranch is attempting to gain possession of the property and also of the owner's ward. When Tom arrives in town and sees the ranch he decides that it is too good to lose. One look at the ward makes him reach the same conclusion in regard to her. The superintendent believes that a speedy revelation of Tom's tenderfoot tendencies will soon cause him to take a dislike to the village. At his instigation the cowboys put Tom through a series of wild experiences, accompanied by a vast amount of gun-play, but the youth never hesitates — in his flight to get away from "those rough men." The uncle is disgusted with his nephew and drives him from him, but the pretty ward's pleas eventually make him relent. The girl rides to tell Tom that all has been smoothed over. On her return journey with him the two are held up by Mexican bandits. Tom uses his fists to such good advantage that he routs the attacking band and redeems himself in the eyes of the girl and the uncle. METRO PICTURES CORP.
