FiVe-Part Fin Version of Famous Nov

Elinor Gyms famous novel, Three
Weeks" has been the most discus
sed novel of the past decade. It's
beauty has been critically conceded
and its drama admitted by the most
conservative. Paul, the wooer Of a
runaway queen, has taken his place
among the heroes of fiction that men
refer with interest and women with
animation. Sonia, the royal mate Of
a dissolute monarch, young, alluring,
adventurous, is now modern symbol
of love that scorns to count the
cost Readers of the book are famil-
lar with the details that go to com
prise the fascinating narrative of the
original
In the film play the authoress has
added to her creation in a prologue
that intesifies the thrill of some of
her scenes and adds color and vivac-
ity to others. Miss Madaline Tray
erse, who appears in the role Of the
temperamental queen, is regarded as
one of the most attractive of the
countrys younger stars. Mr.. Mahlon
Hamilton, who plays the role OF Paul
is one OF the most popular leading
leading players of the native stage.
