Call of the Mate Synopsis

A wronged dance-hall girl with an illegitimate child loves a cowhand with the love of a bad woman for a good man. A gambler takes a shot at the fellow, and the dance-hall girl steps in the way, taking more than her share of lead. With her last wish, she asks the cowpoke to marry her and give her child a name. They are quickly wed, but the girl unexpectedly recovers, posing quite a problem for the cowhand, who is in love with another woman. When the dance-hall girl is later murdered, the cowhand is unjustly suspected of the crime until he proves that the gambler shot the girl out of malice. The cowhand returns to his first love and marries her, despite the interference of her sullen brothers and somewhat angry father.

The Great Shadow Synopsis

Jim McDonald, the foreman of a shipbuilding plant and head of the labor union, strives to combat the anarchistic propaganda being put forth by Klimoff, the leader of a Bolshevik gang whose goal is to disrupt the country with strikes and anarchy. Despite McDonald's efforts, a strike is called, resulting in chaos. McDonald's child is knocked down by runaway horses abandoned by their striking driver, and dies. Mob scenes take place in America, as well as in Russia. Eventually, the unrest is quelled with an armistice called between Capital and Labor for a year, during which time wages are to be increased to reflect the cost of living, and leaders are to work out a common plan for their mutual advantage. The strikers now realize that they have been pawns of the Bolsheviks and call off the strike, agreeing to the plan.
