BEST THEATRE.

Monday--f"The Princess of Park Row" which appears at Best theatre tomorrow shows what happens when lovely princess of the old world meets a susceptible young citizen of the new. Aside from the charming love interest, the story abounds in political plots, crooked business deals and enough daring rescues to fill five reels alone.
 We first meet the young princess in her native land, where she per suades her father to take her on business trip to America, accompan- fed by sinister-looking prince who poses as the kings trusted friend, but who is really the blackest of villains. After they arrive in New York, the princess makes the acquaintance of young newspaper reporter who be- lieves her to be a secretary and her maid to be the real princess. Mean while the conspirators have frightened their ring around the trusting king

and kidnap him at the moment when his presence is absolutely necessary to business deal involving the for tunes of the kingdom. Just as the young reporter is most discouraged at the hope1essness of winning prin- cess, he learns of the fathers plight, rushes to the rescue and saves him after series of rough-and-tumble fights which finally land him dishev- eled but happy in the arms of the princess.
 Mildred Manning was satisfactorily cast as the wilful but lovable little princess, and Wallace Macdonald played the part of the young reporter with rfreshing naturalness. A de- lightful bit of comedy was furnished by Anne Brody as the fat and bewil- dered maid who believed America to be inhabited chiefly by wild Indians. The setting includes a number of hilarious scenes at Coney Island.
 The play belongs to the best type of romantic comedy and is full of thrills.
