''Three Weeks at the Victoria To-day
"Three Weeks,' translated in the


"Three Weeks" translated in the
language of all civilized countries,
stands at the fore of all modern vivid
romances. In the film play the author
has added to her ceration in a prologue
that intensiies the thrill of some of
her scenes and adds color and vivacity
to others. Sonia runs away from her
castle and her king after the manner
described in the book. She encounters
Paul in the restaurant in Lucerne,
Switzerland, precisely as recounted in
the novel. The two, a queen without
country and king without throne
fall madly in love. She struggles
against her enthrallment and seeks to
flee from temptation. But an accident
halts her flight and the Inevitable next
meeting occurs. In the photoplay ver-
sion all these incidents are idealized.

She was built in Sunderland. England,
in 1905. Although the steamer La listed
as being owned by the Taylor & San

land, it is possible that she was char
tered by the Cunard line.
The British steamship Cornubia, l.
1875 tons gross. has been sank. Her
crew was saved. The fishing smack
Boynerie of Lowestoft also has been
