Foley, Trade BIOGRAPH FILMS RELEASED JULY 2 1st • 9 THE BLACK VIPER A Human Serpent Crushed to Earth Most appropriate ia the title given to this Biograph film, for it is the portrayal of the machinations of one of the most viperous, venomous creatures in human form one could Imagine. This brute becomes enamored of Jennie, a pretty mill girl, whom he rudoly accosts. He is repulsed and in return violently attacks her. Mike, her sweetheart, rushes to the rescue, giving the cur a sound thrashing. Mike and Jennie go for a stroll, but the viper with his gang follow in a wagon, and at a lonely place in the road seise and bind Mike, throwing him into the wagon, hut Jennie esoapes. They drive to the foot of a rocky cliff, up which they carry him. Jennie has given the alarm, and a rescue party at onoe starts out in another wagon. The gang reach the top of the cliff with Mike and take him to an old frame house, lock him in and set fire to it. Mike has, unobserved by the gang, sawed with a sharp stone the rope binding his hands and so makes his way to the roof through a trap. He is discovered, however, and the viper climbs up and a terrific fight ensues, ending with their both rolling from the roof to the ground below. Here the struggle is renewed, and Mike succeeds in gaining possession of the viper's dagger and lays him out, just as Jennie and her friends appear, the approach of whom has frightened off the viper's gang. LENGTH 7 24 FEET THE FIGHT ON THE ROOF. ii RELEASED JULY 24*1* M THE TAVERN KEEPER'S DAUGHTER How a Baby's Prattle Softened a Flinty Heart In the lonely wilds of Southern California there stands a rural tavern, kept by an old trapper, who had been widowered years ago, hia wife leaving him a most precious legacy in the being of a pretty daughter. She waa indeed the fairest flower that e'er blossomed in that land of the golden sun. Among those who frequented this rustic hostelry was one of thoae pro* Marian half-breed Mexicans, whose acidulate countenance waa moat odious to all, particularly the girl, of whom he has become madly enamored. It is nightfall and, the guests all having departed, the keeper loaves for a short jsunt np ths road, and the girl goes to her room to prepare for her well-earned rest. She has just removed her waist when there la a knook at the door and, thinking it her father returning, ahe opens it to the Mexican, who had seen her father depart. Barring the door he seises the helpless girl, who screams and straggles until hex father, bursting in, engages the half-breed in a fierce conflict, while the girl rushes out into the eight, and we next see the poor, frail oreature dashing wildly through the thick forest, coming at last as morning breaks to the oabin of her nearest neighbor. She relates her experience to the miner's wife, who goes to bring her husband's aid. Hearing the Mexican's approach the girl hides behind a curtain. In rushes the infuriated beast in search of his prey. While rummaging the place he is attracted by the childish prattle of the miner's baby, who sits in its cradle playing with her dollie. His heart is softened by the pure, innocent chatter of the ohild, and he drops on his knees before the crib and prays to God to help him to resist his brutal inclinations, and, rising, implores ths girl's forgiveness and departs.
