The story centres round the pursuit of a baffling international thief, known as “The Hawk,” and involves the love affair of a young Englishman who was lor a time suspected of being the criminal and the da.ugnter of a railroad magnate. The plot is spirited in the extreme, and involves such thrilling scenes as the near-crash of two railroad trains, an exciting pursuit on the water in yachts, and the escape of “The Hawiv by a leap from a second storey window and his final end in a motor-bo n explosion. ROLLICKING COMEDY ON FRIDAY. “Life’s a Funny Proposition” all right, and it takes a man with a cheery and genial smile like big William Desmond to bring this iaci home.
