Not having the courage to tell them he has failed, he strives to earn a living in a new way, as the film will show. “Honour and The Sword,” is a stirring story or how a girl conquered a mau at his own game. Two other very fine dramas are “ For the Cause of the South” (Kdison), and “The Ones Who Suffer ” (Selig). “ Hypnotic Nell,” is a lively comedy ot a resourceful girl. Bashful Bill is iu love with Nell, and while she offers him every encouragement, he is afraid to ask the eternal question. Nell seeing an advertisement of a hypnotist becomes a student and soon is able to place the cook and other unfortunates under her spell, and what happens makes a good lively picture. “ When the Fire Bells Rang.” This is a story of two brothers, one a member of the village fire brigade, the other the property man at the “ Opry House,” for a travelling company.
