The picture is of the direction of James Oliver Curwood, which speaks for itself of success. The title tells a great deal as to the nature of the story of "Nomads of the North" and it has to do with an intense love affair which wan ders through many nooks and cor ners seldom called mortal man's ken. The great piece do resistance is the persistent effort of an iron fisted "king-pin" of a trading post to impose his will to the extent of forcing a girl whose father is in his debt to marry his pampered and vi cious son.

Margaret Beecher, granddaughter of the late Henry Ward Beecher, will shortly make her debut as a screen star under the personal direction of Fdward Hemmer. in his most am bitious production to date. The story, rn unusual one, from the pen of Jerome N. Wilson, was chosen in preference to many published stories, some of them best sellers. Mr. Hemmer selected the story for its wholesomeness, charm and because it is splendidly balanced with comedy, prahos and drama. The story revolves around charming and daring young southern girl, who by a series of events is thrown on her own resources. "A regular fellow" is the best de scription of the girl in the story, and her unselfish devotion to her pals, and to duty makes her a screen char acter that will sef her forth cameolike gainsts a back-ground of are ma terial. young assistant of having needlessty wrecked the boy's life by amputating both his legs. Blizzard has become a power in the underworld of San Francisco. He laid a cunning plan to entrap "Barbara Ferris" (Claire Adams), daughter of Doctor Ferris (Charles (Tary), who is now a great surgeon and whom Blizzard knows as the man who cut off his legs. By a fake telephone message fell ing Dr. Ferris that Barbara is at his house, he gets "Wilmot" (her suitor), there and throws him through a trap door into the cellar. Then he sum mons Dr. Ferris and makes the amazing proposal that the eminent surgeon amputate Wilmot's legs and graft them onto him (Blizzard). The keen, surgeon sees that Blizzard is mad, but rtretends to accede to his request. He puts him under ether, but instead operates for pressure on the brain, caused by the same acci dent in his boyhood, which lost him his legs. Blizzard awakens, an en tirely different man, softened, gentle, with memory of his former existence apnearing only as a bad nightmare. Fate, in the shape of a bullet fired by one of his former accomplices, cuts short Blizzard's chance to live a right life, nd he pays the penalty of his mad career. Muse "The Penalty," "Lahoma," "Help Wanted Male," and "Evangeline."
