embodies much of the dignity of
power and affluence and more than
little of the dogged belligerence
of the born fighter.
As Simeon Tetlow, president of
the Stillwaters Railroad, Mr.. Kee-
nan offers one of the most gripping
character studies of his distinguish
ed career. Combining the stern
qualities of man who has fought
his way to the top with the COM
passion that responds to the ap.
peal of a little child. he makes the
story of the man of affairs, who
by strange chance is thrown into
controversy with one of his en-
gineers, a worthy contribution to

photoplays. There are tense ora
