.Tr. BEshman and Miss 3ayne are
c2rrful 20 maintain the standard they
rave set in motion pictures, and this
care is made evident with each sue
.aeding prediction in which they
appear. In tbeir present vehicle the
gifted pair have been unusually FOR
tunate in obtaining a story which
gives TO 10th The fullest opportunity
for the display Of those talents which
have cndeared them to thousands.
The story OF a Million \ Minute"
deals with an eccentric old bachelor
who dies leaving ten million dollars.
He has been disappointed IN love as

and left a son named Stephen. Be
fore Stephens mother passes away
she tells how MS uncle has prosecuted
her, because she would never marry
him.
In his will, q whimsical document,
the Old bachelor stipulates that his
! fortune shall go 20 Stephen and Dag
mar, providing they are married be-
I fore midnight of the following 3lst
OF May. Neither has ever seen each
other, or even knows of the ether S
existence. Stephen is in South Africa
when he learns Of the strange will
He decides he will not take a penny
of the money, as his mother has
taught him to hate MS uncle
Through ruse he manage to make
it appear that he has been drowned.
Meantime, DaGmar has met an
INSCRIPTIONS duke in in Paris. and
marries him before she learns of her
guardians death. But a woman
claims the Duke as her husband at
the alter, and Dagnar fees and re-
turn to America. Mark Seager, a
gun runner, has found what he sup
pose to be the body of Stephen in
South Africa, and on reading the
letter notifying him Of the forum"
that will be his. if he marries Dag
mar. he decides to impersonate
Stephen. Seager hurries to the
States. The Duke also seeks out hi:
bride in America and Stephen also
returns to his native land, bat under
another name.
How Stephen meets and falls il
love with Dagmar, without learning
