The Village Movie 3 Paramounts—Continued well-arranged backgrounds for lending a realistic atmosphere to the entire five reels ot the photoplay. Langdon takes g'reat pride and interest in his old southern mansion, his cotton fields, his negroes, and the village in general, and when he is nominated as Senator all the townspeople turn out in a demonstration parade—and nomination in Mississippi means election. The crowd gathers in front of his home, and Langdon is persuaded to take the nomination (with his hands up), when the community points its revolver—fifty of them—at him, with good old-Southern humor. The Congressman from that district wanted Langdon to speculate in swamp ground to sell to Uncle Sam at a big advance, and when he could not interest Langdon, he persuades Langdon's son and daughter to put all they can get into these lands, unknown to their father. Before going North, Langdon sends his son north to get money to move the big cotton crop; the Congressman meets the boy in Washington, and there brings about the son's undoing, and with the son in the Congressman's power, they attempt to force the Senator to vote for the new navy yard and so help the scheme and the schemers. In Washington the Senator comes in contact with two factions. One an honest secretary, the other, two grafting Senators and a clever society woman, together with the scheming Congressman. His older daughter and son side with the latter faction, while the younger daughter stands beside her father and the secretary. The Senator almost "falls" for the charms of the society woman, but just escapes being trapped. The action in the last two acts is very pleasing and cleverly contrived. The climax is the Senator's "plan" to turn the tables on the schemers, and it astonishes his enemies when he throws it at them like a bombshell on the floor of the Senate chamber. It is, indeed, a well-acted, intensely interesting American story, bringing out the staunch, true, honorable characteristics of manhood which have made our country, our homes and our advantages possible. <br><br> Uncle Ben—Why don't you play with the other youngsters, Tommy?
