Through the Sluice Gates
Oct. 19th, 1913.
The great advantages of having natural scenery available as a setting for every moving picture have seldom been more clearly shown than in this Majestic play, which utilizes the picturesque culverts and sluice-gates of the new Los Angeles Aqueduct to produce some very thrilling situations.
Jack Browning, a young ranchman, is supposed to have left home because of the constant friction with his step-fatlier and st.=p-brother. When his mother dies, shortly afterward, her property appears to have been left entirely to them, and though Browning accuses them of trickery and theft, he fails to prove it. Then the step-father is killed, and Browning is found near the body with a rifle in his hands. Circumstantial evidence is so strong that he seems doomed, and his fiancee aids him to escape with her. They secure a good start, but his escape is discovered, and a sheriff's posse, including the vindictive step-brother, ride after them. Seeing they're likely to be overtaken, the girl leads him to a culvert of the aqueduct and rides off with his horse to the sluice-gates, a mile away. At first, the sheriff is fooled, but, suspecting the trick, gallops after them and arrives in time to see Browning emerge in the roaring torrent. The step-brother starts to fire upon him but loses his footing and tumbles down the cliff to his death. As he is dying, he confesses to having accidentally shot his father and altered the will left by Jack's mother.
The hair-breadth escapes and thrilling situations in the play hold the audience breathless from start to finish.

Always Together
By Lloyd F. Lonergan. Oct. 21, 1913.
Mr. Lonergan's latest comedy is one of the most unique plays his versatile talent has ever produced. It is funny as can be — and still, it is pathetic — and the goat plays an eloquent and touching part.
Patrick O'Toole was a shoveler. His wages were $1.25 per day; but he was happy, having a beautiful daughter, Nora, his pipe, and Brian Boru, the goat. Then, one day, a fortune came to him, and Nora bravely assailed the fortress of society. With her looks, and her wit, this would not have been so difficult had not O'Toole insisted upon keeping Brian Boru in the new mansion. The goat was not at his ease at social functions, and the Count de Bellemonte was terribly afraid of him. Nora decided that the time had come when her father must choose between her and the goat.
Then the old Irishman reminded his daughter how he had taken care of her "when she was a little tyke" and, said he, "A goat, bedad ! is ivery bit as good as any monkey iver wint to one o' thim monkey dinners." Between tears and laughter, Nora is won over. Father has his way and Brian Boru climbs the social ladder with them.
_ For a fetching bit of human nature, spiced with the romantic and with many droll situations, nothing could be more delicious than this thoroughly original little play.
