RETURN OF DRAW EGAN (1916) William S. Hart, Louise Glaum, Robert McKim. A gripping Hart western drama. An infamous outlaw, Draw Egan, is named new sheriff in a small town, his career as a bandit being unknown to his supporters. Draw delights in mixing it up with the local riff-raff.

KNIGHT OF THE TRAIL (1917, Tri-Stone.) William S. Hart, Leona Hutton, Frank Borzage. A great amount of female drama ensues when Bill’s fiancée finds out he’s actually a holdup man. She dumps him! Bill wins her back, though, by saving her money from a shyster. A fine two-reeler. Music Score, From 16mm.
WAGON TRACKS (1919) William S. Hart, Jane Novak, Robert McKim, Lloyd Bacon. Another Hart classic. When his brother is shot and killed, Bill is led to believe that a young woman on his wagon train did it in self-defense. Later, he finds this not to be true, so he forces a showdown with the killer. Complicating matters even further is a band of Indians wanting blood! Music score, from 16mm.
