...Steel (Milton Sills-Doris Kenyon). The pictorial possibilities of the steel mills are boldly seized upon by this endeavor and frittered away on a silly story. Mr. Sills plays a worker who assumes the blame for a murder, committed by the girl he loves. He escapes to the East and takes up his trade in other mills. The story follows him. The blistering scenery of steel manufacture surrounds the slothful narrative impressively. Perhaps the story might be eliminated and the remains be used for a two-reel educational...
...flexible in pantomime than a dog. Yet a horse has an extroardinary, individual attraction that is quite irresistible. The story is as usual flimsy and absurd. Rex is shown making love to lovely mares of his acquaintance, running over leagues of attractively barren prairies, and avenging the Indians' murder of his owner's old father.

...diplomats abroad. The warning advised taking precautions against having the respective diplomats' heads shattered and the respective diplomats' houses blasted by bombs from incensed radicals and Communists. As a result of the conviction of two Italian gunmen (Sacco and Vanzetti) who are under death sentence for murder in Massachusetts, U. S. diplomatic missions in Paris, Sofia, Lisbon, Buenos Aires and Montevideo have been bombed or threatened. In several instances buildings were damaged but no loss of life has been reported. Foreign sympathizers with the convicts declare the Italians are being punished for their radical beliefs...
