The story concerns a man OF the

terday were diverted by the screen
revelation of an entirely new type OF
piracy when Harold Lloyd disclosed
through the medium of an exceptional
two-reel comedy what he deemed the
most likely activities of Captain
Kids Kids In this subject, the
gifted young comedian. who Is rap

best photodramatic offerings given
in Washington in many months.
considered purely from the view
point of dramatic development. at
mosphere and stirring. convincing
action. and. as stated in advance
notices, il has a great additional
advantage in that il is a bold state
ment of alleged conditions in the
Mormon church in years gone by.
In "a Mormon Maid" the pro-
Queer has worked the thread of the
Mormon attack theme into a story
repIete with melodramatic action
So inteIligentIy has this been done
that at no point in the unfolding OF
the story does it impress as a
preaChment. but rather holds the
spectator all the better because of
the strength of this underlying
thought.
The story concerns a daughter of
settler whose party is rescued by
Mormons when attacked by Indians
After living in the Mormon city for
two years. her father was brought
before the council and told that he
would have to take another wife.
Threatened with having his dsugh-
ter married to a Mormon unless he
consented. the father yields with
the daughter. Mae Murray. unknown
to her father. agreeing to become a
Mormon's wife in order to save him.
When the father arrives with his
second wife. the girls mother kills
herself A leader who has been
planning to marry the girl. forces
her to the altar. where she. by a
lie. compels her release. Following
her escape from the ceremony the
father. the girl and her lover-a
young cowboy - attempt to escape,
but are captured by Mormon guards.
The father is shot down. but even
tually RECEIVERS, and in the garb of
one of the guards. helps his dHugh-
ter and her sweetheart to escape.
Miss Murray handles her big
scenes in a most effective manner,
while Hobart Bosworth, Frank Bor-
cage, Edytho Chapman and Noah
Berry are In every way worthy OF
the strong roles in which they ap-
pear.
