"FAUST|NE' FORMS
BASIS OF PICTURE
Florence Reed viii Be Seen
Here in Leading
Role

Charles Algernon Swinburne's i'm
mortal poem, "Faustine," which has
never failed to fascinate and hold
enthralled the reader of each new
coming generation. forms the basis Of
one of the most lavish photoplays
presented in many seasons. The
Black Panther's Cub" pr S,ced by
w. X. zsegfeld and starring - Ience
Reed, which is to be shown at the
Alcazar theatre all next week.
As THE Black Panthers Cub" or
the daughter of 'Faustine," Miss
Reed returns to the screen, after j
prolonged absence. in one of the most
entertaining and spectacular roles
she has ever essayed.
Scarcely less important is the sup
porting cast with which Mr.. Ziegfe!d
has surrounded the leading figure
lin the play. Such names as Norman
Trevor. Earle Foxe. Tyrone Power
and Henry Stephenson are suffi-
ciently important in the amusement
world to individually insure the sue
cess of any production, whether on
the stage or screen, and yet this
array of theatrical talent has been
combined by the producer in this one
productions. u
Still others of hardly less equal
prominence in the cast are, William
Roselle, Mile. Dazzle and Paula Shay.
1t would be difficult to single out
| any one of these artistes for indi-
vidual praise.
The production in itself is one of
| the fastest moving pieces of photo
| play work ever seen on the screen.
| There Is a touch OF the allegorical
| in it when the story goes back to the
1 days of gladiatoial combat and mo
ments Of the original Faustine's cold
and calculating tyranny.
| Emile Chautard, who directed the
| production, is himself a Frenchman,
and the scenes that are laid in the
French capital are particularly true
to life and atmosphere.
