The Secret Vault.
(Kleine-Cines)

T was a case of love at first sight
when Claudia Melville met young
John Martin. the newly elected
prosecuting attorney. then en-
gagged il preparing his case against
a corrupt ring" of politicians.
Francis Duval. Melville's private sec
rotary, is madiy in love with his
employers daughter. and swears re-
venge. Called bv important business
10 a neighboring city, Martin con-
fides an envelope containing docu-
mentary evidence against the ring"
to his prospective father-in-law for
safekeeping. The banker suddenly
dies and Duval conspircs with Mar
tins political enemies to steal the
discriminating papers. Martin enlists
the services OF Fox, a celebrated de-
1ective. a clue leads them TO tho
haunts OF Duval and his associates.
and after a long running fight they
succeed in regaining possession of
the mCch-sought envelope, to find
that II contains nothing but some old
newspapers. The dead banker, fear
ing just such an attempt upon the
part OF Martins political rivals. had
made the substitution in order 10
protect the papers. With the aid Of
the astute Fox Martin institutes a
search which if finally rewarded by
the discovery of a secret vault. and
there the precious papers are found.

two would-be politicians,
L. succumb to the charming
mannerisms of the Widow
Guggenheimer. The widow is upde-
cided which one she shall select for
a husband, but finally tells them she
will marry the one who wins the
election-the office to be that of
chicken coop inspector. There is
much surprise and humiliation on the
parts of the candidates when neither
is elected. The widow solves the
problem. Il will marry the man who
is the best wrestler: arrange for a
bout and 1 shall be the prize for the
winner. The match is fought, and
Ryan is the victor. He is about to
claim the widow for his own when
the real husband. supposedly dead,
returns and Gusts him, a knockout
finish to Ryan. who had nearly been
killed in the wrestling match to win
the widow. A sad fate for one who
had worked so hard for a prize.
