THE AWAKENING (Five Parts—Dec. 3).— The cast: Jacques Revilly (Montague Love); Marguerite (Dorothy Kelly) ; Horace Chapron (John Davidson) ; Varny (or Maxime) (Frank Beamish) ; Prosper Chavassier (Joseph Gran- by) ; Celestine (Josephine Earle). Directed by George Archainbaud. Twenty-five years ago Jacques Revilly was found on the church steps in a small French village. He grows up into a fine strapping young farmer. His abstinence from rough play after his farm work makes him unpopular, he surreptitiously cultivates his skill at painting within the sacred portals of the church. One of Jacques tormentors discover his art attempts, which suggest a new mode of attack, and then his co-workers make an issue of a little delinquency and refuse to stay at the farm unless he is discharged. Jacques, enraged at this injustice, leaves the hamlet forever. Three years later in Paris Jacques is able to produce some very good canvases. His unkempt appearance, his sulkiness and his apparent distaste for the society of his fellowmen have won for him the nick-name of "The Beast." He goes to the Cafe Brasserie Murger where the artists are enjoying themselves, among them being Horace Chapron, the bully of the Student Quarter. A dance is being planned for the evening, but the girls do not wish to have "The Beast" present. Jacques that night, knowing nothing about the party enters the cafe and as usual takes his drink by himself. He is invited to join the party by another student named Varny, but says he prefers to be by himself.

With the recovery of his friend, who joins his old companions, Jacques realizes anew that in this world he stands alone. He goes to a saloon and as he is drinking he prays God to give him the companionship that his soul craves for. On his way home he finds a frail young girl lying apparently dead in the snow. He carries her to his home, confident that his prayer has been answered. Under the careful ministration of his friend, Varny, and the caretaker, the girl convalesces. Her story relates her unsuccessful attempts to find work after her mother's death. Her strength gave out and she fell almost lifeless in the street. Jacques gives her his room, while he goes across tne hall to Varny. Through the aid of the caretaker, Marguerite secures a position in Madame Celeste's millinery shop. Jacques begins to take an interest in his physical appearance. One day Prosper, one of the students, announces that he has just seen "The Beast" sober, clean-shaved and neatly dressed. His friends are incredulous, so he says he will prove it. A few days later when passing under Marguerite's window a book comes down on his head, it having been pushed off the window sill by the girl when dusting. Prosper returns the book to Marguerite, and is about to kiss her when Jacques appears. Prosper is ordered out of the place, and tells the students that Marguerite is beautiful and virtuous. Horace, another student, wagers a dinner that she will be his a month from that date, which, by the way, will be the wedding day of Jacques and Marguerite. One month later the students are all assembled for dinner, Jacques, who has not seen his companion for over a month, enters the cafe and asks if he may join the party, not knowing the nature. Horace then toasts "His Marguerite, who works in Madame Celeste's shop." As there is but one Marguerite in the shop in question Jacques demands that Horace retract the toast. Horace shows her ring which Jacques insists he stole. Horace challenges Jacques to a duel. Jacques rushes to Marguerite's room, where he finds her directing a letter to him. She hands the missive to him. He reads, "You'll never see me again. I am a defiled creature." Jacques bids her leave. He makes his will leaving all to Marguerite. Marguerite begs his friend to get Jacques to finish reading her letter. Jacques consents and so Varney finishes reading the confession of how she had gone home with Madame Celeste who had feigned sickness ; was introduced to a man she called her brother ; that after drinking her wine she was powerless to move ; and next morning she found herself— Jacques resolves to kill Horace. Varny asks Jacques if he will not see Marguerite. He does ; but when Marguerite hears that a duel is to be fought begs Jacques not to go, as she is sure he will be killed. Jacques is not to be swerved from his purpose. On the field of honor Horace says that he is in the wrong and wants to apologize. Jacques strikes him in the face. They fire. Jacques is shot ; but not mortally and the doctor tells him he will soon be all right. He is carried back to his rooms. There is a reconciliation, and so Jacques at last has his heart's desire.

Jack finds that his mother's second husband is a wealthy, aristocratic individual, who is the father of a son and a daughter by his first
December 22, 1917 THE MOVING PICTURE WORLD 1847 marriage. The son and daughter are aristocratic and high and mighty like their father, and Jack fails to fit in well in the family. Finally it comes to the point where Jack is accused of the theft of a necklace belonging to a friend of the daughter. Jack goes to a farm and there he is happy and contented until he finds that his stepbrother is a rather bad egg. Then Jack sets himself the task of making his stepbrother do the right thing. The manner in which Jack succeeds in this laudable effort and the reward which comes to him constitutes a mighty entertaining drama. FOX FILM CORPORATION.

In the scuffle which follows Jim gets possession of the chart and flees with it to the home of Squire Tr»lawney, father of Louise Trelawney. While the squire and Dr. Livesey ponder over the strange map, which is known among the pirates as "Flint's Fist," Jim is sent upstairs to sleep and to dream. Jim and Louise go to Bristol. They charter the "Hispaniola," with a crew of what they consider carefully selected men. They start for the mysterious island outlined on "Flint's Fist," for a little red cross on the chart had beside it the luring words, "Bulk of treasure here." On the way the two children learn that most of the crew they have hired had formerly sailed with the notorious Flint, one of the boldest pirates who ever lived. He had given this map to Bill Bones, his first mate, on his deathbed in Savannah, Ga. Then begins a series of exciting adventures. After a Jong voyage, they reach the Treasure Island and Jim goes ashore with several pirates, headed by Long John Silver, while Louise stays aboard with Captain Smollett. Jim finds Ben Gunn, a marooned former shipmate of Flint's, and makes a friend of him. The captain and Louise, fearing an attack on board, make for the shore and take refuge in the stockade which had been built on the island by Flint. Jim joins them there only to find that he has left the coveted chart on shipboard, and he is forced to make the hazardous trip back. After many fights between the pirates and the honest members of the crew, Louise and Jim are finally reunited. They find the treasure «afely piled away in Ben Gunn's cave.

Established I90S THE FILM EXCHANGE 729 7th Avenue, Ntw Toik City after he causes to be circulated the report of his death. In a short time the manservant comes to him at a nearby hotel with the report that his second wife and his brother are plotting to destroy the children so that they can get the money immediately. Suddenly the husband returns. The wife and brother are astonished. The brother leaves the house. The father gathers around him his wife and the two children and asks the children as they sit on his knees if they would like to hear his story of the Babes in the Woods. Of course they want to hear it. So with his wife listening he begins the recital. The picture fades from the pleasant room and the fairy story is shown on the screen. Hansel and Grethel are given into the bands of ruifians by their cruel stepmother. They are to be killed 1n the forest. The beauty and innocence of the two children softens somewhat the hearts of the murderers, who decide they cannot kill the children, so they leave them in the forest to die. The children wander In the wood for some time and they lie down near a big tree and fall asleep. The Good Fairy, who watches over the children in the wood, brings forth her fairies to dance around the lost ones to make their dreams pleasant. The next morning the children are found by the Bad Prince, but Hansel and Grethel flee and are assisted by the Good Fairy, who, when the children reach a stream in their flight, calls two swans and on the backs of these Hansel and Grethel escape across the water. The Bad Prince then goes to an old Witch and promises her wealth if she captures Hansel and Grethel for him. The Witch sends her raven into the wood to guide the children to her house, a structure built of gingerbread. The children see the raven. They marvel at it, and as the Witch intended, follow it to her home. While the children are nibbling at the gingerbread house, the Witch comes out and invites them inside. She makes prisoners of both, intending to fatten Hansel so that she can eat him. When the roasting day comes, the Witch tells Grethel to crawl into the oven to see if it is hot enough. Grethel, guided by the Good Fairy, declares the oven is not large enough. Whereupon the Witch, to show the children it is, crawls in herself. Grethel slams the oven door and she and Hansel escape. Then follow many adventures, in which the children get into the hands of the Bad Prince, but the Good fairy still aids them and they escape. They finally return home, tell their story, and the entire village turns out and visits deserved punishment on the bad stepmother and the uncle. The picture then returns to John Hamilton's home. The children are still on his knees. The little girl is crying softly and the boy looks angry. For a time the wife and stepmother looks at her husband, then as the full effect of the story sinks into her heart, she bows her head, then smiles and takes the children to her bosom. She loves the children now and by her act regains the affection of her husband. THE PRIDE OF NEW YORK (Five Parts- Dec. 9).—The cast: The Son (George Walsh) ; The Father (James A. Marcus) ; The Fop (William Bailey) ; The Girl (Regina Quinn). Staged and written by R. A. Walsh. The story opens with George, the son of a building contractor at work on a 20-story structure. He's hard working and happy. In New York there is another type, one often found a rich man's son who is an idler, who loves the night life and the spending of his father's money. He's a typical snob. To this son is attracted, probably because of their stations in life, the daughter of a millionaire. But one day when she watches George standing smiling on the end of an iron beam, being drawn up twenty stories, with nothing below him but the hard street pavement, she takes an interest in him. Soon George and the rich man's son are called in the draft. She judges the worth of the two in their soldier's uniforms, and despite George's comparative poverty she comes to believe he is the better man. Then the soldiers go to Europe, and she follows as a Red Cross nurse. George, genial, smiling, continues to improve in her estimation, while the rich man's son, still a snob and disliked by his fellow soldiers, fades from her i When George, battling for all he is worth, fearing nothing in his fight to uphold the honor of his country, saves this girl from GOLD KING SCREEN Perfection in Projection—Ten Days' Free Trial Try before you buy is your privilege.
