SYNOPSIS.

Stanley Hargreaye, millionaire. after a
miraculous escape from the den of the gang
of brilliant thieves known as the Black
Hundred. lives the life Of recluse for
eighteen years. Hargreave accidentally
meets Braine. leader Of the Black Hundred.
Knowing Braine will try to get him, he
escapes from his own home by balloon
Before escaping he writes a letter to the
girls school, where eighteen years before
he mysteriously left the doorstep his
baby daughter, Florence Gray. That day
from the bank. but it is reported that this
dropped into the sea when the balloon he
escaped in was punctured
Florence arrives from the girls school.
Countess Olga. Braines companion, visits
her and claims to be relative. Two bogus
detectives call but their plot is foiled by
Norton, newspaper man.
BY bribing the captain OF the Orient
Norton lays a trap for Braine and his gang.
Countess Olga also visits the Qrlents cap
tain and she easily falls into the reporter $
snare. The plan proves abortiye through
Braine's good luck, and only hirelings fall
into the hands of the police.
After failing in their first attempt the
Black Hundred trap Florence. They ask
Norton and the countess call on Florence
the next day, once more safe at home The
visitors having gone Jones removes a sec
a box. Pursued by members of the Black
Hundred he rushes to the water front and
succeeds in dropping the box into the sea
Countess Olga, scheming to break the en-
gagement existing between Florence Har-
greave and Norton, invites them both to
her apartments and pretends to faint In the
reporters arms. Florence appears in the
doorway Just at the planned moment, and
as a result gives Norton back his ring.
Accomplices of Braine succeed in .kidnap-
ping Florence while she is shopping and
hurry her off to sea. Norton receives a wire
less later informing him that the girl had
eaped into the sea and been drowned.

Curtain Calls

Whether or not the motion picture
fans are as wise in the choice OF an
actor to portray the hero as are the
producers themselves may be deter
mined by visiting the Goodwin
Theatre, S63 Broad street, tomorrow,
Friday and Saturday TO witness a
production of Zone Wonderful
Night" When it was discovered that
the story of this play, which was
published in a current magazine, was
arousing widespread interest 1t was
decided to let the readers choose the
actor to portray the hero. When the
votes were counted Francis \. Bush
man, whose work before the camera
has gained host of admirers, was
declared by popular reclamation
njust the man for the part.
The hero's rescue of the fair Lady
Hermione, who is trying to escape a
marriage with a Hungarian count,
forms a story even more exciting on
the screen than 1t was in magazine
form. This count conforming with
the rules OF etiquette laid down for
counts of fiction, is high in hopes and
low in bank accounts. The latter de-
ficiency he hopes to remedy by mar
rage with Lady Hermione, whose
vast fortune does not detract one
whit from her desirability in the
counting eyes of the count
The girl escapes to America with a
Frenchman named De Courtois, who
promises to marry her simply that
she may escape the count. A divorce,
he assures her, can be arranged as
soon as the count is out of the way.
However. even the Frenchman is in
the employ of Lady Hermione's faith
er and keeps putting OF the ceremony
from day to day. In her extreme
need the manly hero arrives upon
the scene just in time TO save the
heroine from her father and the
count who. finding that their prey
has escaped to America, hasten after
her.
Mary Piclford. whose appearance
is eagerly awaited by the Monday
and Friday patrons of the house will
be seen in an entertaining playlet
Friday. In addition the bill win in
clude the Scientia films. a comedy
film and the Pathe News.

The final cod was cleaned and pack
ed away in salt, the mudhook raised,
and the schooner Betty set her sails
for the southwest. Barnes realized
that to save the girl she must have a
doctor who knew his business. Mrs.
Barnes would know how to care for
the girl, once she knew what the trou-
BILE was. There would be some news
in the papers. A young and beautiful
woman did not jump from big At
lantic liner without the newspapers
getting hold of the facts.
A fair wind carried the Betty into
her haven; and shortly after Florence
was sleeping peacefully in feather
bed, ancient, it is true. but none the
less soft and inviting. In all this time
she had not spoken single word.

TRADE EXPERTS
SPEAK To LOCAL
MANU- ACTURERS
Government Agent Tells New
arkers How to Get and Keep
Latin-American Business.

How to get and keep trade between
| ds country and Latin America was
Fcussed at a meeting of manufac-
! irers In the rooms Of the Board of
Trade yesterday afternoon The meet
ing was the first Of series planned
to be held under the auspices of the
board. All of these meetings will be
for the purpose of showing the manu-
facturers and merchants of Newark
the splendid opportunity offered them
at the present time in South America.
Denis F. O'Brien chairman of the
committee on foreign relations, had
charge of the meeting. and introduced
George w. Doonan commercial agent
of the department of commerce sta
toned at New York, as the principal
speaker. Mr.. Doonan told his hearers
that the government was ready to
help them with information. Three
hundred and fifty consular agents, he
said, are employed collecting and Civ
ing information.
Literature Very Complete.
Mr.. Doonan showed his hearers a
number Of pamphlets issued by the
government for the guidance of ex-
porters. This literature is very COM
plete. The changes in the tariff are
shown, conditions of crops in the vari-
GUS countries, the specifications for
every large building. There is also a
directory of more than 1000 import
ers with catalogue Of the products
they handle. In addition, information
as to their rating may always be had
Besides this, there is a directory of all
the newspapers with their advertising
rates.
To further aid manufacturers and
others who want to do business in
South America, Mr.. Doonan said that
every consul arriving in New York
visited his office and was willing to
meet all who wanted information.
T. B. Riker, of New York. another
speaker. said that statistics under the
existing conditions were of no value
AT this time, the United States is the
only place on which South America
could depend for necessities.
One thing upon which Mr.. Riker
laid particular stress was the useless
ness of catalogues without a man to
push the sales of goods. Besides this,
he declared that statesmen should be
entirely familiar with the customs of
the countries in which they are called
on to do business.
Not only had some German concerns
made a careful study of trade condi-
tons in South America, said Mr.
Riker. but they had not hesitated to
counterfeit goods of merit, and even
place the trade marks of American
manufacturers on them. This state
ment was supported by other speak
eEs.
Representative Walter I. Mccoy and
Gilbert G. Lansing, editor of Ell
Concrete, delivered addresses, as well
as Augustus V. Hamburg, president
of the board.
