"Bill" Hart, Thomas H, Ince*s famous star, has introduced a new character to the silent drama. For more than three years "Bill" has been playing "bad men" gamblers, highwaymen, cattle rustlers, hold-up men and when he finished "The Silent Man" for Art craft he told Mr. Ince that for a change he would like to portray a law-abiding citizen, a respectable and respected member of society.
