The story Of "Old Heidelberg" is
as follows:
Wallace Reid, as Prince Karl"
the heir to the throne of "old Held
elberg," did not feel that he occupied
very enviable position. During his
boyhood he was not permitted to mix
with playmates of his own age and
enjoy their fun. He was kept in Sc
clusion under the watchful eye OF a
tutor to be sure that nothing hap
pened to his precious life.
For the completion OF his educa-
ton. Prince Karl was sent to college
at Heidelberg. There he got his real
first taste of fellowship, small as 1t
was. His brother collegians tried
their best to treat him as their equal.
They drank beer with him. They
played with him, and Prince Karl for
the first time in his life was really en-
joying himself. While at college he
met "Kathie," the daughter OF an
old soldier who had been wounded
for the honor of his country girl
he had once met in childhood but had
never been permitted to see. Kathie
was the only girl that Price Karl
had ever met" Soon he began to
love her with all the ardor of youth.
Life was sweet at last.
But at home the country was in
trouble. His people needed him to
protect their interests. For diplo-
matte reasons the king had arranged
match between Karl and princess
of neighboring state. 1t was up to
the prince to answer the call OF his
country and do his duty, or give up
his lady love. Wouldn't you like to
see this picture and get his decision?
