Morris Foster Dick is startled to see a girl's agonized face at the window of a limousine which passes him. She drops a note which reads, "Save me — 85 Newton Street." Dick follows and finds an old house, with the girl at an upper window. He climbs up on some vines and forces the window, and she tells him that she has been kidnapped. Two crooks break in, and Dick gives the girl his revolver and starts to fight with his fists. Then suddenly she turns the gun on him. He realizes that she is a decoy. They are bank thieves. They tie him, and leave the girl to guard him. He asks her to untie him, but she says she dare not. At last she does so, and he climbs out through the window, and goes for help. The two crooks return and threaten the girl. She says she is through with them. They advance toward her when Dick enters with two policemen. The men are made prisoners and the girl is allowed to go free. She tells Dick that she is going home to start again. A non-recoil airplane gun of large calibre is the first subject of the Screen Magazine, Issue No. 26. The preparation of a shad for planking is shown in complete detail by Mrs. A.

Myrtle Gonzalez, George Hernandez and Lawrence Peyton in "The Greater Law.*^ Dramatic Story of the Klondike in Five Reels. A remarkable Bluebird Production. Directed by Lynn Reynolds. Released July 16. To the credit of Director Reynolds' fine company must be placed some of the finest of all screen productions. You remember "Mutiny," of course, and that supremely great picture "God's Crucible"? From the southland of the Grand Canyon, the locale of the latter drama, we here make the long jump to the frozen wilds of Alaska, and the early days there when might was right. Never has more beautiful photography been produced than you will find in this remarkable film. But to our story. Myrtle finds herself at her mother's death with a weakling brother Jimmie on her hands, a sacred charge. Overcome by his entreaties she gives him money to go to Alaska to seek his fortune. Arrived there, and freed from all restraint, he promptly goes broke at the gambling tables. He is befriended by Seattle Lou and arouses the jealousy of her "man," Laberge. In the fight that followed, Cort Dorian and his partner, TuUy Winkle, attempt a rescue. The boy is shot and the rest of the combatants return to their claims. At home the anxious Myrtle hears that disaster has befallen Jimmie, and she sets out to learn the truth. There follows one of the most remarkable stories ever filmed. How Myrtle falls in love with Cort and he with her; how she is finally convinced that Cort killed her brother and attempts to stifle her love; how, in a pistol duel with Cort, she wounds him, and how the truth finally prevailed — are all tense situations leading up to a grand surprise climax that simply sweeps an audience along gaspingly. The types, the atmosphere, the story and the finale are such as are rarely found in the very best of five-reel features, with which "The Greater Law" must be classed. This is a picture that you can play to capacity for more than one day, and that you will find profitable to repeat as well.
