METRO PICTURES CORP.
THE ETERNAL MOTHER (Five Parts—Nov.
20).—The cast: Maris (Ethel Barrymore) ;
Dwight Alden, Maris's second husband (Frank
Mills) ; Lynch, Maris's first husband, later
known as Winch (J. W. Johnston) ; Minister
(Charles W. Sutton) ; Kate (Kaj Gynt) ; Bucky
McGhee (Louis R. Wolheim) ; Felice (Maxime
Elliott Hicks) ; Butler (J. Van Cortlandt). Directed
by Frank Relcher. Adapted by Mary
Murillo from the novel, "Red Horse Hill," by
Sidney McCall.
Maris has married against her father's
wishes. Lynch, her husband, turns out to be
a drunkard. In her life the only bright spot
is their little child, Felice. Maris is forced to
be the bread winner of the family. She secures
a position as stenographer in the office
of Dwight Alden, the wealthy mill owner. Word
comes to Maris of the death of her husband
and child in a railroad accident. When Alden
learns there is no longer an obstacle to their
marriage, he asks Maris to be his wife.
A few years later Lynch returns under the
name of Winch with a woman named Kate.
Both depend upon the efforts of little Felice,
who goes to work in the mill. Maris, driving
by in her machine with the minister, sees the
little child hastening weakly to her work.
When her husband arrives he tells her it is no
affair of hers, and hurries her away to be
ready for a reception that evening.
At the mill that night a belt around the
spools, which has not been arranged in accordance
with the law, breaks and Felice is
injured. McGhee, the superintendent, phones
Alden at his home, and Maris overhears her
husband giving his cold directions. Later in
the night Maris steals away to see what she
can do for the sufferer. As she nears the cottage,
Winch staggers out, telling Kate that
he is going to get damages for the injury to
his bread-winner. When Maris comes to the
cottage, she smoothes the little child. Kate
watches Mrs. Alden's affection for Felice, and
goes out to find Winch to tell him that she
thinks they can extort money from the mill
owner's wife.
Winch gets into a fight with McGhee at the
saloon, and McGhee gets the best of it. Winch
hastens home with Kate, and the husband and
wife face each other. Maris is aghast at the
knowledge that he is alive, and that the injured
child is her own baby. Maris attempts
to take her child away, but Winch stops her.
Winch forces the sick child to get up and
dress and the three leave. Kate and Winch
fall asleep by the roadside, and Felice creeps
away in search of the kind lady.
The next morning after her husband has left
the house, Maris determines to make one final
effort to obtain possession of "her child. She
goes to the Winch cottage. At the church, the
minister makes an impassioned plea to his
rich congregation on behalf of the children of
the mills, and ends with a scathing denunciation
of Alden. At the close of the sermon he
falls dead. Felice staggers to the gate of the
Alden home, where Maris finds her. Maris
decides to take Felice and leave Alden's home,
and writes a note in which she tells her husband
that Felice is her own child and that
Winch is her husband.
Alden, a changed and softened man, hurries
home to find Maris, and is just recovering
from the shock of her farewell letter when
Winch and Kate, who have gone in search of
Felice, reach the house. Winch admits that
the report of his death was simply a scheme

THE SQUARE DECEIVER (Yorke Film Corp.
— Five Parts— Dec. 3).—The cast: billy Van
Dyke (Harold Lockwood) ; Beatrice Forsytho
William Pugfeather (William
(Pauline Curley) ;
Clifford) ; Mrs. Pugfeather (Dora Mills Adams) ;
Celia Pugfeather (Katbryn Hutchison) ; Edith
Van Dyke (Betty Marvin); Dick Blakesley
(Dick L'Estrange). Directed by Fred J.
Halshofer. Adapted by Fred J. Balshofer and
Richard V. Spencer from Francis Perry Elliott's
novel, "Love Me for Myself Alone."
Billy Van Dyke, multi-millionaire owner of
Dynecourt Manor, and a most likeable chap,
is counted a great catch by fortune-hunting
mothers of marriageable daughters, but he la
unimpressionable while he waits for his "dream
girl" who will love him not for his millions,
but for himself alone.
William Pugfeather has brought his societymade
wife, his daughter, Celia, and his ward,
Beatrice Forsythe, to New York. Mrs. Pugfeather
is anxious to lease Dynecourt Manor in
the secret hope that Celia can make the acquaintance
of the owner and win him. Celia is
selfish and arrogant, and just the opposite to
the sweet and unspoiled Beatrice, who does
npt figure in these negotiations.
The first step in Mrs. Pugfeather's campaign
is to hire a liveried chauffeur, and Beatrice is
sent to town to find one. Billy sees her driving
through the park, and recognizing her as
his "dream girl," he pursues. He learns of her
errand, and, struck by an idea, dons his exchauffeur's
coat and cap, applies for the position,
and is engaged.
Beatrice and Billy become friends much to
the alarm of Mrs. Pugfeather. She demands
references, but when Billy tells her his last
employer was the rich Mr. Van Dyke she is
satisfied. The succeeding days find Billy working
as chauffeur. Celia has arrived at a suburban
depot, and the car is there to meet her.
Celia's baggage takes up so much spate that
there is no room for Beatrice, and Mrs. Pugfeather
tells her to take the local train home.
Beatrice leaves at this insult, and Billy, infuriated,
quits his job.
Billy finds Beatrice down the lane almost in
tears. He comforts her, and offers to loan him
three hundred dollars, all she has. At last
Billy has found the girl who loves him for himself
alone, so he pours out his heart, and they
become engaged. The Pugfeathers quarrel, and
Beatrice returns just in time to hear Celia accuse
Pugfeather of sheltering a pauper. At this
new insult she resolves to go away. As she
is leaving the house, Pugfeather, as executor
of her father's estate, tells her she is heiress to
two million dollars.
Billy, still retaining his secret, and aided in
his plans by his sister, Edith ; his chum.
Blakesley, and Dr. McChesney, meets Beatrice
by appointment. They are married. Then Beatrice
learns that her husband is the rich Mr.
Van Dyke. Mrs. Pugfeather and Celia collapse
when they receive the news at the Van Dyke
home, where they have been invited for a visit.
