week.
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. But the "girl loves a
simple-minded, honest, sturdy trap

of the real lover on the scene starts
exciting events, which never abate

Debutante on Screen.
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

adventure, with the star wearing

ionable seaside resort, with a hydro
plane playing an important part.

the Icadi.irr star in "Evangeline,"
