The New Road’s Mascot
(1914) United States of America
B&W : One reel
Directed by Anthony O'Sullivan

Cast: Frank Evans [the section boss]

Biograph Company production; distributed by The General Film Company, Incorporated. / Released 3 October 1914. / Standard 35mm spherical 1.33:1 format.

Drama.

Synopsis: [From The Biograph Weekly] For his daughter’s sake, a discharged workman yields to temptation and commits an act which brings consequences of such a nature that all his manhood is aroused, and by strenuous efforts the danger which threatens is averted. One of the best railroad stories ever released, for woven through the swift and vivid action there is a splendid plot, in which are involved characters so humane that they compel interest from the start.

Reviews: [The Moving Picture World, 17 October 1914, page ?] A workman who has been discharged, is driven by circumstances to desperation. For the sake of his daughter he yields to temptation and commits an art repugnant to his better nature. Shame arouses his manhood and he determines to take a new road. This picture contains many interesting scenes, which have been finely produced.
