Hart will have the role of miner who has made rich strike, and who comes from the desert into a small border ore excites the cupidity of the pro prietor of gambling resort, and with the assistance of a dishonest government clerk the miner is robbed of his valuable property. For five reels that fairly teem with thrills, excitement and romance, Hart strug- gles to recover his mine, and in the end he not only wins his fight against the unfair forces that are banded against him, but also cap lures the hand and heart of a very beautiful girl.
 Associated with Hart in the pro duction of "The Silent Man" will be Vola Vale. young actress oi unusual charm; Robert McKim, Q versatile screen villain; J. P. Lock ney. Milton Ross, Harold Goodwin and a score of other capable play. CTS
