THE OTHER HALF (1919)
("The battle of democracy")

"Dammit, Jimmy... I must've been
nervous. I swallowed my gum.”

"My plan has been made...
I will start at the bottom and will
not use my father's influence."

"How will you keep yourself
in such a common environment?"

"In the last two years I've learned that
it is wrong, to make a class distinction."

"My boy... Your father is slowly
getting a bit old, and I want
to help you really ahead."

"Tomorrow I have a commisionary meeting,
and I will get you named president of the
united factories. What would you think of that?"

"I'm sorry, father, but I will not
accept the job. In the war I made
the rank of officer by my behaviour

and not by protection and I
want to make it in the business
world in the same way now."

"Nonsense!... Pure nonsense!...
Insane ideals! Theories! You can't
let such an opportunity pass by."

"I don't want to have better
chances than others."

"I have made this city great.
I turned a village into an industrial centre...

I owe nothing to others, but if you
are dediced to have it your way...
Very well... Go ahead!"

The "Trent" iron factories. He starts
at the bottom with the other boys.

Back in his old position
because he knew his job.

"Well, Jimmy! So you're
back from the front!"

"None of that nonsense, Jimmy...
We're plain and simple Americans here."

It is time for little Jenny
to go have her coffee.

"Sir! Your lunch!"

"If you continue this way, your
heart won't last two months...
It is vital that you take rest."

"Rest? Impossible! It would kill me!"

...and Milady awaits the return of
the worker after his daily work.

"I thought, that military discipline
taught one to be on time."

"A factory worker cannot always
decide about his time himself."

"I have eaten with a couple of friends."

"I am interested in them...
Tell me a bit more!"

...and another day Jenny couldn't
prevent with her song, that
the temperatures dropped.

"I've come to tell you, that Jenny
in the laundry has fainted."

Even though Martin Trent is
unable to go to his office...
he still fulfulls his daily task.

Completely the slave of the business,
which had been created by him...
"his business"...

Third part.

"The girl that I talked of is very ill...
We have just taken her home.
She will much appreciate your help."

"...And so will I!"

"I'll return quickly!"

"Dear mother, let's forget for a moment
that we belong to the Leanes family."

"Enter!"

"What can I do for you?"

"Wind up the gramophone!"

"My Dearest Kitchen Maid"
Sung by the Peerles Quartet.

"Do not worry...
She will recover."

"What a blessing to hear."

"Because of you I feel a wish
dawning in me, to interest myself more
for the people in this neighbourhood."

"No... I mean no charity... but I would
like to bring happiness and contentment."

"That old newspaper brings
our neighbourhood more
happiness than all else."

"THE LIGHTHOUSE"

Farewell to our readers! To our immense
sadness we report, that the next issue
will be the very last one. By...

"The lighthouse", as a light in the
gloomy houses of the worker's quarter.

Caleb Fairman es alguien que sólo busca la
verdad y esto está por encima de la búsqueda
de expansión de la posesión material.

Salario de Julio: 80 dólares
Registrado: 53 dólares
Saldo: 27 dólares

"Are you the editor?"

"No, I WAS the editor, because tomorrow
my gazette will appear for the last time."

"I have always done my best to state only
the truth, nothing but the truth in my paper,
but unfortunately... the cost is too high."

"Permit me to tell you, that
"The lighthouse" will NOT
appear for the last time."

"Come in!"

Fourth reel.

Their happiness concerned the same ideals.

"For thirty years I have worked
on the business, that will
soon become your property."

"It is my wish, that you will continue
in my spirit and direction and don't
forget... no sentiment in business."

"So you are now at the head
of the Trent Corporation."

"You must take this up
as soon as possible."

...and often the shine of his earlier
ideals paled by the continuation
of his father's life's work.

"These are the people who
qualify to become foreman."

In business no sentiment.

"Make one of those people foreman."

"Conseguí un suscriptor
principal para 'El Faro'."

A reporter of the papar "The lighthouse".

A ray of hope. The true wealth
only belongs to the mind,

and if they, who possess, give to
those, who do not possess, then
the word brotherhood is made truth.

Blesses are those, who alleviate
the need of others, for there
love will come in other hearts...

Be receptive of the good
and keep the way to it open.

"You mention excellent thoughts in your
paper, with which you do a lot of good."

"Yes... The order was signed
by young Mr Trent... But...!"

"No buts... I knew that he wouldn't
forget me when the time was there."

"We will see if we can make
some improvements here...
They are urgently needed."

Corporal Jimmy is working on air castles.

"We can get married. I've got my eye
on a beauty of a ring of 37 dollar."

"With you as my wife I
accomplish everything I want."

"I've told Bradley, that he will have rings
sent from which you can make a choice."

"I'm making wedding plans and I
didn't even ask you to marry me."

"Yet you have nothing to say over me...
I'll be your wife anyway, corporal Jimmy,
whether you ask me or not!"

"Give me time to think about it."

For monetary reasons, Jimmy's
plans for installing improvements
in the factory aren't implemented.

For that reason it is impossible to
implement the proposed improvements.
Donald Trent, president.

"That isn't in the spirit
of young Donald."

"I've got a fairly important
message for the paper!"

One of our reporters saw an ambulance
coming full speed from the Trent factories.

With information it appeared to us
that several workers are heavily
injured by the collapse of a wall.

Fifth part.

"I've told them to support that wall...
I've told them... I HAVE TOLD THEM."

"He will recover, but the shock has blinded
him. It may take years, it may also take
less long but his sight will return!"

"My darling... my darling!"

And during that same night.

Love, Donald.

"I've come for a reply."

"Yesterday, a man has suffered a serious
injury by an accident in your factory."

"Ah yes! We have accidents every day.
Our statistics show it."

"Do you know who it was?"

"I've forgotten...
But Catherine, I must... I..."

"That man was Jimmy, your friend.
He's gone blind and..."

"It grieves me deeply, bu I will
have him taken good care of."

"Well... well... Have you forgotten
the lessons of charity?

Was all the misery and self sacrifice in
the trenches in vain, that in a few months'
time you could have become so heartless?"

"Listen! Today I've met a brave girl,
who quit her job, because she thought
that this was her duty... And you..."

"You do not want to let speak
the justice in you

because you follow in the footsteps
of your father and are too weak
to practice your principles."

"As long as you do not come to me
as a man, but as an instrument instead...

then I assure you that your wedding
proposal is insulting for me."

"But you must become yourself
again, Donald... and return then."

With tender hands it's attempted
to lift the veil of darkness.

"At first I thought it was Donald...
But of course... he is very busy,
otherwise he would come to me."

"The workers will brace themselves
if their demands aren't conceded.
What if you spoke to Donald yourself?"
