aboard the British flagship to inter
cede for a friend who had been unlaw-
fully imprisoned: how ne also was held
a prisoner during the bombardment OF
Fort McHenry, and the thrilling ex-
periences he passed through while
watching. throughout tho night. for a
glimpse Of the flag he so dearly loved
The photoplay will be one of the largest

will be the burning and blowing up of
the British frigate. The film not only
shows the romantic incidents IN the
life Of Francis Scott Key. but also
some thrilling episodes at the time OF
the Revolutionary War, when his
father was a dashing Young Colonial
officer under WashinGton's command.
