There Is an old saying 10 the enect
that lone might as well have the game
as the name" Whether that Is good
logic or not is for the individual him
, self 10 decide in every case. But here
is another angle to the question: let
society give a person the name" and
in time that person is apt to enjoy the
game 1t is human nature, II we mark
a man as bad, IL we shun him as evil. II
Is a psychological fact that he Is apt TO
become bad. Mental suggestion, 1t has
been proven. plays an important. part In
the fashioning Of a PERSONS thoughts
and actions.
Here is a play. a Gold Seal three-reel
play, that, while possessing an absorb
ing love story and strong action, deals
with the possibility OF a man securing
the game when the name has been
given him. Put yourself in this mans
place. For years you have worked TO
support a mother-and have loved a girl.
That girl leaves you to marry some one
you know is unworthy OF her. Your
mother dies; nursing your sorrow you
go into the mountains in search Of soli-
tude. You fall in with a band of out
laws, only as a visitor. But word
travels back to your friends that you
are an active member. You become a
marked man, Stunned and ostracized.
What would you be apt TO do?
Allan Dwan. producer OF such strik-
ing plays as The Lie" and Blood
hounds of the North" is both the au-
thor and director of this piece.
II you like the play that strikes a
new note you are going to like this one.
And the three leading parts are enacted
by artists OF the highest ability-ac-
knowIedged stars. These are Pauline
Bush. Murdock MacQuarrie and Lon
CLANCY. The play is set in Western
town and the mountains. The Lamb,
played by Mr.. MacQuarrie in a brilliant
manner. is one Of those gentle young
men who spend their lives looking after
the affairs Of others and in the mean
time lose all the best that is the heritage
of the young. This boy is devoting his
life to his invalid mother, and In his
spare moments editing a weekly paper.
The citizens of the town deride the editor
and his paper. But there are two per
sons who have faith in him-the woman
and his mother. Except for the inVslil
mother the boy would lay his heart at
the Woman's feet.
